However, even if the United States can ban Huawei's 5G equipment, it cannot avoid Huawei's 5G patent, and it still has to pay patent fees. After all, Huawei and Chinese companies have too many 5G patents, occupying a very favorable position. According to the latest research data of the German patent analysis company IPlytics, as of the end of March 2065438+2009, China accounted for 34% of the number of applications for essential patents of 5G communication standards, while Huawei's application number was the highest among all enterprises, reaching 15.05%, ZTE ranked fifth, Electric Research Institute ninth, Qualcomm and Intel sixth.
Standard essential patents refer to patents that cannot be bypassed in 5G communication, and also patents that can be charged directly. This means that even if the United States does not use Huawei's 5G equipment, it will definitely use Huawei's 5G patent or ZTE's 5G patent in 5G construction, unless the United States does not build 5G or does not build according to existing standards. Of course, the payment is not necessarily paid directly by American operators, but may also be paid by communication equipment vendors or mobile phone vendors such as Apple, but this patent fee cannot escape, and it will eventually be paid by American operators and consumers.
The US Department of Commerce made comments after blacklisting the company in May, which means that American companies must obtain permission to do business with Huawei. Earlier this month, Huawei fought back against the United States, accusing prosecutors of harassing its employees and forcing them to collect information about the company. Huawei said, "In fact, Huawei's core technology has not been the subject of any criminal case against the company, and any allegations collected by the US government have not been supported by sufficient evidence.
