The Intellectual Property Court of Shenzhen Intermediate People's Court publicly pronounced that Samsung infringed Huawei's patent right.
Samsung Electronics Company pointed out that patent is only a universal standard of an industry. Whoever discovers it first should not enjoy it exclusively, but should communicate on the principle of fairness, reasonableness and mutual understanding, which is not good for the relations between the two companies and even China and South Korea. I have to say, as a multinational company, it even says that patent right is a common standard in the industry. Samsung's own patent has been used by others, will it still say so? In fact, Samsung's rogue nature runs through its development. The reason why it can develop into a global giant in the fields of chips, storage and mobile phones is because of its rogue practices.
First of all, in the field of chips, Samsung is not competitive at all. Far behind Apple and Taiwan Province's TSMC. So Samsung began to play hooligans, poached Liang Mengsong, chief of staff of TSMC, and obtained many core technologies and confidential documents of TSMC. Subsequently, Samsung surpassed TSMC in the semiconductor field and became the world's largest chip R&D and manufacturing enterprise. To this end, TSMC and Samsung fought a four-year lawsuit. Although the court ruled that Liang Mengsong should not work for Samsung, Samsung had mastered all the key technologies at this time. It doesn't matter whether you want this person or not.
There is also Samsung's "explosion door" incident. In the case of a global explosion, Samsung carried out a global recall, but there was no China. It also claimed that the explosion of the mobile phone was caused by the use of batteries made in China. Put the blame on China. While all consumers cursed Samsung, the South Korean headquarters made Samsung employees in China kneel in public, apologized to the dealers and asked them to continue to purchase goods and sell them to consumers in China. Third, carry forward the rogue quality. Now, in the field of mobile phones, Huawei has surpassed the existence of Samsung. The semiconductor field is also working hard. When China's chip and storage fields are no longer dependent on imports, Samsung should completely withdraw from China.
Although the patent contest between the two giants has been tentative in China, there are still two lawsuits abroad, and Huawei's tough battle is not over yet. Ren once predicted that "a patent world war will break out in the next five to eight years, and Huawei must have clear strategic judgment and strategic design."
