The settlement of the global patent dispute between Nokia and OPPO is behind OPPO's victory in resisting the unreasonable charges of the communications giant in the past three years. "No diamonds, no porcelain work". The reason why OPPO persevered to the end is inseparable from its deep accumulation in the research and development of related technologies.
Moreover, this incident has had a profound impact on the entire industry, especially in terms of patent licensing costs in the 5G industry. This is because the dispute between Nokia and OPPO has been revolving around the licensing fees for 5G patents. Previously, due to the lack of unified standards and reasonable rates, 5G patent fees have become a heavy burden for many companies, including mobile phone manufacturers. The reconciliation between OPPO and Nokia provides a reference for other manufacturers, giving them more options and bargaining chips when facing similar problems.
At the same time, this incident also points the way for other companies that are experiencing similar problems. In the face of patent hegemony of foreign companies, Chinese companies cannot blindly compromise. In the face of unreasonable patent fees, enterprises must not only have a firm sense of rights protection, but also have sufficient strength and strategies to deal with them. This includes strengthening its own technology research and development, accumulating more patent assets, and adopting appropriate legal means and negotiation strategies in the face of disputes, so as to better protect its rights and interests. OPPO's approach in this regard is worth learning from and has set an example for domestic enterprises. As of December 31, 2023, OPPO has applied for more than 98,000 patents worldwide and granted more than 54,000 patents worldwide. Among them, the number of invention patent applications exceeded 89,000, and invention patent applications accounted for 91% of all patent applications. In the World Intellectual Property Organization's (WIPO) 2022 ranking of the number of international patent treaty (PCT) applications, OPPO ranked sixth in the world.
In conclusion, the reconciliation between Nokia and OPPO is a milestone event, which not only brings hope for the reduction of patent licensing costs in the 5G industry, but also provides valuable experience and inspiration for enterprises experiencing similar problems. #OPPO到底有多强大#
