I understand that neither party to the lawsuit has issued any response, except that OPPO company did so in a previous press conference. When it comes to related content, we clearly oppose the excessive patent fees of some companies.
I think Nokia’s behavior has always been clear. Any company that opposes charging high patent fees will be sued by Nokia. Nokia uses this as a threat to blackmail all companies that oppose charging high patent fees. Only in this way can companies charge high patent fees to other companies stably. Nokia has announced many patent charging standards, and these charging standards are very high so far.
1. Nokia has some motives in suing OPPO.
I understand that OPPO has stated at many meetings that it respects intellectual property rights and opposes certain companies charging excessive patent fees. OPPO has always owned a lot of its own intellectual property rights, but in terms of knowledge Property rights fees have always been at civilian prices. OPPO has also objected to Nokia's excessive patent fees for personal use products many times, which are far beyond market standards. These statements have offended Nokia, which has been in many cases. It has a lot of advanced intellectual property rights in all fields, and Nokia has not given up high fees for these intellectual property rights. Taking 5G patent licensing as an example, Nokia has charged every 5G mobile phone manufacturer that uses its patents for each mobile phone since 2018. The patent fee of three euros is equivalent to about 22.95 yuan in RMB, which is very high in the international market.
2. I support OPPO’s approach.
I think Nokia’s requirements for charging fees in the field of intellectual property are a bit excessive. It should follow market rules and respond to market mechanisms. OPPO’s business philosophy is helpful to the development of the field of intellectual property to a certain extent. For some The company opens up its personal intellectual property rights and charges low fees. Although OPPO has not explained much about this matter, some of OPPO's previous statements are enough to explain a lot of problems. On this matter, I support OPPO's approach and oppose Nokia. policy of coercion.
3. I think no response is a good thing.
I think that in some litigation relationships between companies, both parties have not responded, which is a very good state. If both parties really show their face and actively respond to certain issues, revealing the background of both parties , which is not good for the development of each company, so there is no response. To a certain extent, it shows that both companies have maintained restraint and left room for some future business negotiations.
