A few days ago, Huaxia Communication Equipment Whiplock H Company signed an agreement with Qualcomm Company, Qualcomm Authorization H uses its patented technology. Based on the agreement, H will pay high to about 1.8 billion US dollars, than $ 600 million higher than the $ 6 billion of Z Company in 2017. After the agreement is achieved, the Qualcomm stock price is 13% afterwards. According to media reports, $ 1.2 billion in $ 1.8 billion is before the end of 2019, H Company did not pay $ 1.6 billion, $ 600 million in the first half of 2020, and all fees will be paid in 1 year. .
For a long time, domestic media likes to boil in the report of H Company, and advocating H companies with an overwhelming advantage in 5G standard patents. In contrast, Z companies who are also in 5G standard patents are unable to obtain equivalent treatment, and even have been contemptuous by the media.
From the data on the data, H Company, Samsung, LG, Nokia, Ericsson, Z Company, Gao Tong, Intel and other companies ranked forefronts at 5G standard patents. H Company's application patent is first, but authorized patent quantity column fourth.
Here, the application patent is the manufacturer's own application, and the authorization patent is to obtain official recognition. After the application, some patents may not be able to pass the approval, some patents are still authorized during the approval process, and thus apply for a patent to explain that a company has applied for many patents and authorized patents. Patent.
The number of authorized patents is sorted by:
Samsung (1728), Nokia (1584), LG (1415), H Company (1274), Z Company (837), Gao Tong (831), Ericsson (768), Intel (148).
From the top eight enterprise data, South Korea has the most 5G standard patents, and East Asia is followed, and then Finland, North America and Sweden. From the number of authorized patents, H is an important participant in 5G standards, but it is impossible to occupy an overwhelming advantage as media encouragement.
The patent is not only to look at the quantity, but also quality. At the moment, patented water injection is a common situation in the industry. In order to complete KPI, engineers desperately patent the garbage patent to the standard in order to increase the number of necessary patents. Some vendors apply the same technique to a patent in multiple countries, resulting in a number of patents.
To do intellectual property negotiations, the number of patents is only a factor, and more important core factors is the proportion of weighted patents.
5G must patent will be thousands, but its core technology has only a dozen eight, key technology is only more than a dozen, negotiating intellectual property payment between enterprises will finally convert the weighted patent proportion. In proportion to the proportion of weighted patents, 5G intellectual property has strengthened the most fierce than the most fierce. Qualcomm's 5G necessary patent quantity is not particularly much, but its weighted accounting is very fierce, leading the ahead of other membership units. After the high pass, it is Ai Lixin. The gap between several companies in Samsung, Nokia, H, Z company, is not that big, and H Company's weighted ranking is the fifth place.
It can be said that 5G standards are the standards common to global enterprises, which are neither "East Asian big country," nor h company occupy the criteria of the overwhelming advantage, and East Asian major companies are important participants in 5G standards, not dominant.
In the case of 5G cost, application, power consumption, covering four issues, the significance of 5G at this stage is very limited, some netizens always like to quote the artists used by North American politicians to incite people's words, saying H companies 5G "seconds "," Overwhelming advantage ", so North America is suppressed, which is completely expected.
At the moment, some companies and media like to play a speech, which is to put a technology advertised as "China Zhizhu", "China Standard", and then use everyone's patriotic enthusiasm to do so unlimited and myths.
When someone and the unit disclosed the objective data, after these companies and media started to bring rhythm, put the truth "Little Boy" hat, many netizens often follow the media and the company's propaganda , Simultaneously classify the normal view to conspiracy, this is abnormal.
From the perspective of patent distribution, 5G standard patents are in groups, 5G is the result of the joint efforts of global manufacturers. Since Qualcomm has a rich patent accumulation in the past few decades, and Qualcomm does not directly do communication equipment, H Company pays $ 1.8 billion patent fee to Qualcomm to Qualcomm is a very normal business.
In view of the "high-payment" charging method, the larger the scale of domestic 5G construction, the more "high tax" to pay for domestic companies. According to the data of $ 600 million in the first half of 2020, the patent fees produced for half a year are equivalent to 50% of the May M countries on Z Company in 2017, which is a tongue.
