On March 16, Huawei stated at the "Innovation and Intellectual Property White Paper 2020" conference that it will start charging 5G patent fees in 2021. In terms of price, a reasonable percentage rate applicable to the selling price of 5G mobile phones will be provided, with a maximum license fee of US$2.5 for a single unit.
Huawei is considered a leader among Chinese companies, and you can imagine the number of invention patents it holds. If these patents can be monetized, Huawei will have the possibility of further development. 1. It is your duty to accept, but it is your duty not to accept
It is not unusual to charge 5G patent fees. After all, Qualcomm, which masters the core technologies of 2G, 3G, and 4G, can be said to have taken a "crab step" at this point. As for antitrust fines, they can amount to several billions. It is conceivable that mastering the core patents of cutting-edge communication technology is to master the password of wealth. For Huawei, when it comes to charging 5G patent fees, not charging it is a courtesy, but collecting it is a duty. So no need to blame. 2. Determination to participate in international competition
The application prospects of fifth-generation mobile communication technology are very broad, including mobile communication terminals, consumer electronic terminals and even the field of Internet intelligent driving. Fields like this are currently popular investment projects in the world. In particular, my country's research and development in the field of intelligent driving is still at the forefront of the world. Therefore, charging 5G patent fees is not just a simple matter of making money for Huawei, but also participating in international competition. Not only does it increase revenue, it also allows more funds to be better invested in research and development. It is about taking the lead in saving ourselves in international competition. Because on March 12, the United States further restricted the ban on Huawei, and the Huawei Princess incident has remained unresolved. 3. Set an example for Chinese technology companies
Huawei has always been a leading company in China. In the field of basic scientific research, Huawei is undoubtedly at the forefront. Therefore, taking this step is actually setting an example for Chinese technology companies. It complies with international rules and is also a bridgehead for Chinese enterprises to participate in international competition. ?
