China enterprises have built a complete innovation chain covering technology, standards, development, testing and application around TD-SCDMA standards. From the development of TD-SCDMA, enterprises have generally recognized the importance of intellectual property rights and actively explored the strategies and tactics of intellectual property protection.
Huayang Huayang, Secretary-General of TD-SCDMA Industry Alliance, said: Perfect patent sharing and protection mechanism is the magic weapon for cooperation and innovation of TD-SCDMA Industry Alliance. ?
As a high-tech product, the intellectual property of mobile communication is a key issue in this industry. When organizing the establishment of industrial alliances and promoting industrial chain cooperation, it is very important to adopt the * * * enjoyment mechanism of intellectual property rights. ? Huayang said,? At that time, according to the different stages of industrial development and the different contributions of enterprises, intellectual property rights were divided into two levels to form a cooperation mechanism. On the one hand, cooperative enterprises are free of charge to each other, which is used to encourage the earliest enterprises to bear the initial risks of the industry; Another level of cooperation is paid cooperation, because if the industry wants to develop well, it must respect intellectual property rights enough, otherwise the enterprises that have made great contributions to intellectual property rights will not be affirmed and their enthusiasm will decline. ?
According to Huayang, the expansion of TD-SCDMA industrial chain and the promotion of TD-SCDMA technology are based on alliance. Patents * * * enjoy, * * * and development and cooperation organizations? The mechanism has been effectively guaranteed. TD-SCDMA Alliance has innovatively established a set of intellectual property rights * * * enjoyment mechanism and unified disposal principle, so that latecomers can quickly cut into the R&D and industrialization process of all links in the TD-SCDMA industrial chain on the basis of the existing technology platform. The Intellectual Property Department of the Alliance is responsible for promoting the related patent work, organizing the evaluation of TD-SCDMA technology patents of alliance members, and clarifying the leading position of alliance enterprises in the field of TD-SCDMA technology intellectual property. In addition, TD-SCDMA alliance will also combine excellent technology research and development strength with? Enjoy the patent? Recognition of principles is the basic requirement for new enterprises to join.
However, in the future LTE stage, the trend of decentralization of intellectual property rights is more obvious. However, the intellectual property rights in TD-SCDMA stage are only in the hands of a few enterprises. They hope to promote common development and are willing to enjoy intellectual property rights. In the LTE stage, the TD-SCDMA industry has made great progress, and the gap between enterprises in the same link of the industrial chain is also great, and the gap between different links is even greater. It is even more difficult for everyone to solve intellectual property problems by relying on the mechanism of * * *. ? Huayang said,? In the past, the intellectual property rights owned by the alliance dominated, but in the LTE stage, although the alliance has certain core patents, it is not an absolute advantage. Therefore, the alliance plans to solve the intellectual property problems in the future LTE stage through the combination of inter-enterprise cooperation and market-oriented operation of patent companies. There are two main purposes, one is to promote the development of TD-LTE industry and market, and the other is to protect intellectual property rights, respect innovators of intellectual property rights and protect their due interests. ?
Intellectual property rights have a great influence on industrial development. If not handled properly, some enterprises demand too high patent returns, which will limit the enthusiasm of other enterprises to invest in TD-LTE. Through the cooperation between enterprises and the operation of patent companies, one is to strengthen the cooperation of domestic enterprises, and the other is to enhance the patent defense ability of domestic enterprises. The issue of intellectual property rights requires all parties to sit down and study it carefully. ? Yang Wei said.
Competition of standards is a dynamic and eternal process. It is precisely because of the accumulation of TD-SCDMA, the rich accumulation of TD-SCDMA technology patents and the disposal of TD-SCDMA intellectual property rights that China's communication industry has not been marginalized in this transformation process, but gained a relatively active position today through market transformation.
