Is side fingerprint unlocking Meizu's patent?
In the past two years, Meizu and Nubian's small round Home button has made a lot of noise in the machine circle. Meizu may have a long memory after suffering losses. Now there are rumors that Meizu has applied for the patent of "side fingerprint" in advance, and the upcoming Charm Blue 6s will adopt the side fingerprint design. Today, digital blogger @ Laobao Technology released Weibo saying, "Charm Blue S6 has a side fingerprint before the news. Let's have a real hammer this time You should all know that the patent map is lost. What do you think? " , with two photos, which are his so-called patent map and a spy photo of a side fingerprint mobile phone. Many netizens questioned this "patent map", because this picture clearly marked "trademark details", so Meizu probably only registered a trademark, not a patent. In other words, even if this application passes, Meizu only has the name "Side Fingerprint", and others want to promote this function by calling it "Side Fingerprint" and "Border Fingerprint". If Meizu really successfully applied for a patent, then Sony, which sells side fingerprints, is a bit embarrassed. If Sony does not take active actions, Meizu has the right to collect Sony patent fees in China once it obtains a patent. Perhaps this will be the last straw to crush Sony, and it may not be necessary to withdraw from the China market.
