In a recent financial report, Qualcomm said it had confirmed that it had obtained $654.38+08 billion from Huawei. This news actually represents that the current chip crisis of Huawei is drawing to a close, and the global patent licensing agreement has been signed by Qualcomm and Huawei. The content in the agreement is that Huawei's global patent royalties have been received.
We should all know that Qualcomm has many patents in communication, so any manufacturer who uses Qualcomm patents on mobile phones must pay Qualcomm patent fees. As a major manufacturer and seller of communication equipment, Huawei uses a large number of Qualcomm patents every year. In recent years, although Huawei's scientific research has developed rapidly, and a large number of key patents of 5G have been developed and controlled, Qualcomm itself does not produce communication equipment, which inevitably creates a giant in the communication field. Qualcomm does not have to pay patent fees to Huawei, but Huawei needs to pay royalties to Qualcomm.
In fact, Guo Ping, the chairman of Huawei, said in a conversation after the accident that the supply of Qualcomm chips was cut off this time: if everything is all right, Huawei will still use Qualcomm chips as the main chip source.
In fact, for Huawei, the chips made in Qualcomm are more important, and Qualcomm also expressed the need for customers like Huawei. Shortly after Huawei was cut off from supplying Qualcomm chips, Qualcomm strongly mentioned that American manufacturers would lose at least $8 billion in orders if they stopped supplying chips sold by Huawei one day. If Qualcomm's application is approved, it will be a win-win situation for everyone. We also hope that Huawei's problems can be solved this time.
