Qualcomm blasts Chinese mobile phone manufacturer Transsion for paying 5G patent fees: the fee is more than 4 times higher than Huawei

According to news on July 17, Qualcomm is currently suing Transsion Holdings Group in the Delhi High Court in India for infringement of four non-standard basic patents. Both parties subsequently confirmed that, according to Transsion, it has signed a 5G standard patent license agreement with Qualcomm and is fulfilling the agreement, and will continue to conduct patent negotiations with third parties to determine reasonable licensing fees. Court documents show that Philips also sued Transsion in India, and other media reports said that Nokia is also putting pressure on Transsion and starting to require it to pay for patented technology. It is reported that communications giants such as Qualcomm, Nokia, Ericsson and Huawei are the makers of 3G, 4G, and 5G technical standards and master many key technologies and standard essential patents, so terminal manufacturers have to pay various patent fees. Taking 5G as an example, Qualcomm charges a patent fee of 2.275% of the selling price of each device, Nokia charges 3 euros per device, Ericsson charges 2.5 US dollars (low-end) or 5 US dollars (high-end), and Huawei charges a maximum of 2.5 US dollars per device. For the same high-end smartphone that costs more than $1,000, Qualcomm charges more than four times as much in patent fees as Nokia, Ericsson or Huawei.
