At present, Huawei has not announced the detailed charging standard, but the highest patent licensing fee for a mobile phone that meets the 5G standard is US$ 2.50, which is about RMB 16 yuan. Although it doesn't look high, it is also a big expense for companies such as Apple and Samsung whose annual shipments exceed 100 million.

In the 5G era, Huawei has reached the forefront of the industry:
It can be said that collecting royalties is very common in the field of science and technology. At that time, Meizu filed a lawsuit against Qualcomm because it was dissatisfied with Qualcomm's high patent royalties, which led Meizu to miss the golden age of rapid development. Apple also launched a three-year lawsuit with Qualcomm over patent royalties, but in the end it could only compromise and continue to pay Qualcomm the right to use baseband chips in Qualcomm.
ARM doesn't design or manufacture any chips, but it has patents on chip architecture and instruction set. Both mobile phone chips and computer chips will use ARM architecture or instruction set. Every year, more than 65,438+000 companies need to pay certain patent fees to ARM.
It can be seen that in the field of science and technology, it is very important to master technology patents, which will determine your position in the industry. In the previous 3G and 4G era, although Huawei also had many patents, it was obviously not as powerful as companies such as Qualcomm and Ericsson. However, in the 5G era, Huawei has clearly reached the forefront of the industry.
