However, Siswell violated the principles of fairness, reasonableness and non-discrimination in the licensing negotiation of standard essential patents, and implemented and charged unfairly high patent licensing fees. Not only that, but Siswell also filed lawsuits in different countries because of the same patent, which brought great influence and economic losses to OPPO. Finally, after the second instance of the Supreme Law, Dongguan, Guangdong Province can be used as the place where the infringement results occurred, and Guangzhou Intellectual Property Court has jurisdiction over the case. At this point, OPPO won a great victory in another dispute with international patent hooligans and safeguarded its legitimate rights and interests. As we all know, if domestic brands want to make a difference in the international market, it is not enough to rely only on good products, and the patent layout must be perfect enough. OPPO, as the first mobile phone brand to go to sea, encountered more than one patent dispute in Siswell. For example, OPPO was sued by Italian Sisvel for patent infringement of affiliated companies, and the company also demanded to determine the global patent rate and prohibit the sale of products, which attracted considerable attention at that time. However, in the face of external pressure, OPPO did not choose to compromise or give in, but took the initiative to attack by tough means. OPPO directly sued Sisvel in Guangzhou intellectual property court for antitrust lawsuit, and asked the court to determine the license rate of FRAND. In May of the following year, the court in The Hague, the Netherlands, made a final ruling, ruling that Sisvel's patent was invalid and bearing the relevant litigation costs. Therefore, this patent dispute with Sisvel is only a microcosm of OPPO's overseas anti-unfair competition, and it has made a good demonstration for domestic brands to go to sea with its excellent patent strength. Today, OPPO has become a world-renowned and leading technology brand, and the total output of smartphones has reached the second place in Q2 Android camp. This is largely due to R&D's positive attitude and innovation, thus accumulating a solid patent foundation, thus creating products with great innovation consciousness and experience upgrade. The data shows that as of June 30 this year, OPPO has applied for more than 65,000 patents worldwide and granted more than 30,000 patents worldwide. There are more than 58,000 invention patent applications, accounting for 90% of all patent applications. Moreover, the data of the World Intellectual Property Organization has been official, and OPPO ranks in the top ten in the number of international patent treaty applications. In addition, in addition to its own active research and development and accumulation, OPPO also attaches great importance to the protection of intellectual property rights. On the one hand, we actively improve our own patent pool, on the other hand, we have been committed to benign patent licensing cooperation in the industry. Previously, OPPO has reached deep intellectual property cooperation agreements with Qualcomm, Ericsson and other major manufacturers. In addition, Huawei has also cancelled its patent objection to OPPO in Europe, and there is a great possibility of win-win cooperation between the two parties.
. In other words, the current OPPO, regardless of patent background, strength or unyielding attitude, is not afraid of patent hooligans touching porcelain and blackmail. These practices of OPPO further show that only when we have excellent strength can we better cope with external pressure. If domestic brands want to gain a foothold in the international market, they must put the maintenance and improvement of patent moat in the first place. Only in this way can we make a strong counterattack when we are under external pressure while ensuring our legitimate rights and interests. At this point, domestic brands should really learn from OPPO.
