In fact, if someone else's patent is really used, there is nothing wrong with paying it reasonably, legally and legally. After all, the technologies and algorithms developed by other researchers have applied for patents, and you should use them in business. Isn't it right to pay? If there is no intellectual property protection, then who has the motivation to study new algorithms and technologies to promote the upgrading of mobile communication technology?
In addition, it is not only a company in Qualcomm that collects the patent fees of mobile communication technology. For example, Huawei has always had revenue from mobile communication technology patents. In 20 19, Huawei asked Verizon, the largest telecom operator in the United States, to pay a total patent licensing fee of more than 10 billion US dollars, because it used more than 230 Huawei patents, which was reasonable.
