Who has more 5G patents, Huawei or Qualcomm? The European Union has confirmed that Ericsson will lead the formulation of European 5G standards, which shows that the formulation of 5G standards has begun to accelerate. Recently, Huawei Vice Chairman and Rotating CEO Hu Houkun stated that "Huawei will be committed to 5G standardization before the end of 2018." However, if China only relies on Huawei to promote the development of 5G, it will not be conducive to China's fight for 5G dominance. In the Android camp, Qualcomm chips have always been the representative of high-end flagships. Except for Huawei and Samsung, other mobile phones have to listen. It seems that there is one company in China that does not listen to him, and that is Meizu. However, Meizu’s current situation , you also understand, no need for me to say more. However, such a company does not get everyone's respect. Most of them dare to be angry but dare not speak out, and are even called patent trolls. Because Qualcomm has too many patents in communications and mobile, you basically can't get around it. And if you want to use its patents, the cost is outrageous. The price is not calculated based on the number of patents used, but based on the price of the mobile phone. That's why there is a story about Apple's resistance. Because Apple's mobile phones are expensive, they have to pay more than 2 billion US dollars a year. It's really a money grab. Qualcomm 5G patent fee standards Qualcomm has recently announced its 5G patent licensing fees, because currently in 5G, except Huawei, no one can match Qualcomm’s patents. Once its chips and its technology are used, it will You have to pay obediently. His 5G patent licensing fee standards are as follows: The patent fees for 5G mobile phones that fully use Qualcomm’s mobile network core patents are: - Single-mode 5G mobile phones: 2.275% - Multi-mode 5G mobile phones (3G/4G/5G): 3.25% Incomplete The patent fees paid for 5G mobile phones using Qualcomm mobile network standard core patents and non-core patents are: - Single-mode 5G mobile phones: 4% - Multi-mode 5G mobile phones (3G/4G/5G): 5%. It is obvious that 5G mobile phones in the future will basically They are all multi-mode mobile phones, so the patent fee from mobile phone manufacturers to Qualcomm is 3.25% or 5%. At present, most domestic mobile phone manufacturers should pay 5%, and they will also charge additional fees if they use his chips. It can be said that even if Qualcomm does not sell chips, Chinese mobile phone manufacturers will have to contribute more than 3 billion US dollars a year (refer to this year's data) relying on patent fees. After all, Qualcomm currently owns more than 130,000 mobile communication patents around the world, and A large number of patent applications are under review.
