Moreover, obtaining appropriate R&D returns will also help us build an innovator image in the international community; If you use someone else’s patent, you have to pay a reasonable fee, thus establishing intellectual property values and soil that is conducive to innovation all over the world.
Furthermore, Patent fees cannot be charged for the sake of fees; they cannot be too low. If they are too low, the innovation of the entire society will be curbed. No one is willing to invest in research and development.
Huawei said that patent fees cannot be too high or too low, so how does Huawei actually do it? Huawei has previously disclosed the charging standards for 5G mobile phones. Huawei’s patent licensing fee for a single mobile phone that follows the 5G standard is capped at $ 2.5, and a reasonable percentage rate applicable to the mobile phone’s selling price is provided.
Overseas companies have also announced 5G charging standards. Among them, Qualcomm charges 2.275% to 5% of the price of the mobile phone using its 5G standard-essential patents, and Ericsson charges $ 5 for high-end and low-end phones/parts.
There is also Nokia, which should pay Nokia up to 3 euros for each 5G phone that uses its patents. Compared with these companies, Huawei’s 5G patent fees are the lowest among 5G core manufacturers, especially much cheaper than Qualcomm, which is in line with Huawei’s attitude towards patent fees.
