Dear leaders and distinguished guests, I am honored to participate in this roundtable today and share something on behalf of Qualcomm.

The theme of this year’s World Intellectual Property Day is “Intellectual Property and the Sustainable Development Goals: Building a Shared Future Based on Innovation and Creation.” In this regard, our understanding is that innovation and creation are an important cornerstone of sustainable development. Establishing a sound intellectual property system and effectively protecting the rights and interests of innovators will help the value of innovation be recognized and help achieve sustainable future development goals.

Currently, new technologies such as 5G and AI are giving rise to a new wave of innovation. The trend of 5G AI empowering thousands of industries has taken shape, opening up new opportunities for the digital economy and industrial upgrading, as well as other related green development areas. opens up vast opportunities. Against this background, China has included "vigorously promoting the construction of a modern industrial system and accelerating the development of new productive forces" in this year's "Government Work Report", which reflects that the government regards technological innovation as an engine for development.

As intellectual property practitioners, we all believe in the value of intellectual property and believe that an environment that encourages innovation is inseparable from a strong intellectual property protection system. Qualcomm has done a lot of work in intellectual property protection and has achieved great success.

In March this year, the General Office of the State Council issued the "Action Plan for Solidly Promoting High-level Opening to the Outside World and Making Greater Efforts to Attract and Utilize Foreign Investment," proposing: "Increase the protection of intellectual property rights of foreign-invested enterprises. Increase the protection of intellectual property rights of foreign-invested enterprises. Investigate and handle cases of intellectual property infringement and resolutely crack down on and punish violations of intellectual property rights of foreign-invested enterprises." During this year's two sessions, Director Shen Changyu said that the intellectual property rights of state-owned enterprises, private enterprises and foreign-invested enterprises should be treated equally and protected equally. We are very concerned about and look forward to more positive measures to strengthen intellectual property protection.

As an important participant in China’s intellectual property system, Qualcomm has been expanding its investment in China’s intellectual property field. Over the years, Qualcomm's number of invention patent applications and authorizations in China has always been at the forefront of foreign companies in China. We hope to see that measures to strengthen intellectual property protection can further achieve practical results, which is of great significance to encouraging domestic innovation and attracting foreign investment in China.

Qualcomm has been developing in China for a long time, and it has been nearly 30 years now. We have been maintaining close cooperation with the China Mobile ecosystem. As China develops, Qualcomm has also achieved development. Through win-win cooperation, Qualcomm has many partners in China. As 5G AI empowers thousands of industries, the fields covered by our partners are becoming more and more extensive, from smartphones, smart connected cars, to the industrial Internet of Things and so on. Our Chinese partners adopt Qualcomm's global 5G solutions and actively explore domestic and foreign markets. In 2023 alone, Qualcomm's platform has empowered nearly 60 smartphones, smart tablets, PCs and other products from more than 20 Chinese brands. In the automotive field, starting from 2021, Snapdragon digital chassis has supported more than 40 Chinese automobile brands, launched more than 100 models, and has reached cooperation with more than 90% of Chinese new energy vehicle brands.

From mobile connections, mobile computing, to terminal intelligent AI, Qualcomm is at the intersection of multiple key technologies that promote digital transformation. We are always committed to providing more comprehensive and advanced solutions to partners in various industries, including China, to support the global interconnected economy, and to promote global industrial ecological innovation and creation by providing basic technologies.
