Technology is the promoter of the times. From the industrial era to the era of science and technology Internet, especially after entering the 21st century, computers and smart phones have become the mainstream of this era. The continuous development of science and technology has eliminated those who have stopped in place, and prepared technology companies have become the darlings of the new era by riding the wind and waves.
In the era of science and technology Internet, European and American countries have seized the opportunity, mastered advanced communication technology in the 2G, 3G and 4G eras, Qualcomm relies on the communication patent fee to make a lot of money, and even suppresses other countries in terms of patent technology. The practices of US companies such as Google and Qualcomm have also made us aware of the importance of patented technology, and the emergence of Huawei's 5G technology has also caught a number of US companies by surprise.
As we all know, Huawei's achievements in 5G technology are obvious to all, according to a data from the German patent statistics company IPIytics in 2020, the number of Huawei 5G patent applications is 3147, surpassing Nokia, Ericsson and Qualcomm and other long-established established communication companies, ranking first in the world.
Huawei's 5G orders and communication equipment have long been all over the world, and even the United States, which is known as a scientific and technological power, has begun to choose Huawei's communication equipment, which shows how strong Huawei's strength in the field of communications is. Now Huawei has officially begun to fully close the network and charge 5G patent fees, even Qualcomm and Apple are no exception.
Huawei officially announced a fee for 5G patents
On the afternoon of April 6, Mr. Ren Zhengfei, chairman of Huawei, publicly issued a summary of the "Patent Licensing Business Report" in the Huawei Voice Community, which pointed out the plan for Huawei's 5G patent fees. Patented technology is conducive to improving the amount of core competitiveness and is conducive to the rapid development of science and technology.
5G technology is an inevitable trend of future development, through the form of patent fees to help enterprises that do not have research and development to provide strong support, but also to protect the rights and interests of patent enterprises. In the 5G era, global communication patents are pouring on Huawei, which also gives Huawei the opportunity to become another major global communications company after Qualcomm, Nokia and Ericsson.
In the minutes, it is pointed out that Huawei's 5G patent charging standards can not be too high as Qualcomm' or too low, after all, the research and development of patents requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and the pricing is too low to apologize for the sweat and hard work of patent R & D personnel, so the patent fee price should take into account both cost and affordable for major enterprises.
Huawei's series of actions can bring a certain amount of revenue for itself, but also let Qualcomm, Apple and other companies have to pay for Huawei's 5G patented technology, which is a good way to have the best of both worlds.
5G patents are fully charged, what are the benefits for Huawei
In late March, Huawei's chief financial officer announced Huawei's 2021 financial report, which showed that Huawei's total revenue in 2021 was 636.8 billion yuan, down 28.6% compared with 2020. Affected by the production of Kirin chips, the development of Huawei's mobile phone business has been blocked, resulting in the continuous decline in sales of Huawei mobile phones in domestic and foreign markets, if Huawei officially opens 5G patent charges, can it change the current situation and improve Huawei's overall revenue.
With Qualcomm's patent fees in China, a mobile phone priced at 3,000 yuan needs to pay 117 yuan to Qualcomm, qualcomm's patent fee in the mainland is charged at 65% of the price of the whole machine in the case of charging 6% of the patent fee, before the implementation of the anti-monopoly law, domestic mobile phone manufacturers need to pay more money.
According to relevant data, Huawei has formulated the 5G patent fee as up to $2.50 per mobile phone, about 16 yuan, which is obviously more conscientious than Qualcomm's 6% standard.
If 5G patent fees are charged, it will not affect Huawei's global layout
Nowadays, the communication industry has already opened the barriers of patented technology, and the patent fee price is generally more expensive, Huawei's 5G patent fee is also in line with the trend of the times, which is conducive to Huawei's better development, and the pricing of Huawei's 5G patent fee is relatively low, which will not affect Huawei's global layout.
From another point of view, Huawei's strength in 5G technology is stronger, if there is no United States to obstruct it, many companies in the world are willing to become Huawei's partners, after all, Huawei technology has been relatively more mature, product operation is more stable, and more cost-effective.
epilogue
After the painful loss of the mobile phone business, Huawei finally began to fight back, patent fees are not the real purpose, but to ensure their own scientific and technological status, the collection of patent fees can not only solve the revenue, but also to a certain extent to restrict the arrogance of US companies.
Huawei "princess" Meng Wanzhou returns, Huawei will not have any constraints, in the coming days, Huawei's great development in the field of science and technology will be farther and farther, the future achievements will be bigger and bigger, I hope that one day Huawei can walk in the forefront of science and technology, break the dilemma of foreign enterprises.
