Huawei sued Samsung why heavy pressure from China's domestic mobile phone manufacturers? -Huawei, Samsung, patent-IT information

Huawei to launch patent war, feel the pressure of not only Samsung.

Patent lawsuit simultaneously filed both in China and Samsung, Huawei flames also burned to Chinese mainland. This may create a case and help Huawei next to other domestic mobile phone manufacturers at home to charge royalties.

Have sued as Cisco, Huawei has pain on the patent is subject in recent years continues to invest heavily in technology research and development, in traffic areas, especially in the areas of basic network built up a world-leading patent pool. As a research and development company, Huawei has positive effect on technological innovation.

But some experts think that, protection of intellectual property rights, the promotion of scientific and technological innovation needs to consider, but at the same time on the patent fees charged, the survival of SMEs also need to be considered.

Huawei have any revelation on Samsung's patent litigation? How to protect intellectual property? People's posts and telecommunications Publishing House and blue Ge Shalong recently launched a discussion.

Overseas may also encounter v

Due to high-throughput "reverse license" protection mechanisms and domestic intellectual property rights costs are relatively high, the domestic mobile phone market virtually insulated from the common intellectual property overseas wars.

In 2015, the national development and Reform Commission high-pass antitrust investigation after the five measures one include "mobile phone manufacturers in China are no longer required will be patents for free reverse license. ”

"Reverse license" system, enterprises that use Qualcomm chips will license its intellectual property rights to Qualcomm and Qualcomm imposed requirements that companies can not the intellectual property rights to the Qualcomm customer royalty. After the abolition of the mechanism, part of domestic mobile phone manufacturers may be required to include communication, Huawei patent holders of large patent fees.

According to current LTE (4G) cell phone patent owners would like to receive royalties accounted for more than 30% machine, which includes high-pass (3.25%), Alcatel-Lucent (has been merged and Nokia, 2%), Nokia (1.5%), Huawei (1.5%), ZTE (1%) and so on.

For domestic mobile phone manufacturers, to pay more royalties meant that the meager profits more difficult to support sustainable development.

Domestic mobile phone manufacturers patent challenges not only from the domestic market, due to China's mobile phone market is becoming saturated, and shuffle competition intensified, mobile phone manufacturers have been forced to the Smartphone penetration is still some overseas market expansion of surviving space of 20% to 30%.

To enter the overseas market, patented layout overall poor vendors may face patent litigation uncertain risk, such as defendant, light is required to pay compensation, you may be banned. Therefore, the patent may restrict the domestic mobile phone manufacturers out to sea, then lose new market opportunities.

Expert: can not ignore SMEs

From the Government said the domestic intellectual property protection system would be more strictly enforced. "New business models and new business formation, for patent protection legislation is in progress, including the Internet, e-commerce, etc. "The State intellectual property Office said Dong Xinrui protection coordination Division.

So, what kind of China intellectual property protection more in line with reality? Some experts participating in the Salon that, balancing the interests of large companies and SMEs are also important.

"From an industry perspective, we need to support large enterprises to innovate, but judging from the industry as a whole, from the perspective of creating value and employment, SMEs cannot ignore. "China's information and Communications Research Institute said an expert who declined to be named.

And because a large number of local mobile phone companies and parts enterprises in low income in the industry value chain, such as copying for patent protection in foreign countries, without regard to profit distribution picture may result in patent fees higher corporate profits, and even design the perfect system would be difficult to implement.

Several giant joint monopoly patents is the current industry realities, its status can not be challenged. High Beijing lawyer Dong zhengwei, believes that in the Giants earn a reasonable income of intellectual property protection, antitrust means are needed to restrict the high licensing fees.

"From the standpoint of patent law to protect innovation, encourage invention, patent inventors enjoy patents in a certain period, but on the other hand, we also have to worry about patent technology monopoly and higher as economic interests, not even economic advantage, which could hinder competition in the small and medium enterprises, even said that scientific and technological innovation. "Dong zhengwei said.

Industry experts believe that Chinese mobile phone companies should complement the patent short Board, multi-directional strengthening their own capacity.

"In the past, for the mobile phone industry we look at is the core element of price, quality, brands, channels and services, patents will be the elements behind. "Sun Qi said. In domestic mobile phone manufacturers are out to sea, he suggested that "hold out" or "ready on the sea", "insufficient reserves in patent cases, in terms of law, experience, as well as funding, should we have more accumulated? ”

Xiang communications industry experts believe that Qualcomm has been forced to give up the "reverse license" system is a double-edged sword, to look at two aspects: on one hand, it does have "outrageous" and "unreasonable" for the enterprise has made a large number of patents is not fair, on the other hand, which is a protection for new entrants to the market makers, has a certain value.

Xiang said could find other new alternative mechanisms to help the socially disadvantaged through joint patent strength balance giant strength, very critical for small mobile phone companies.

华为起诉三星，为何中国国内手机厂商压力大？ - 华为,三星,专利 - IT资讯

华为发起专利大战，感到压力的或许不仅是三星。

由于同时在中美两地提起三星的专利诉讼，华为将战火也烧至中国本土。这可能创造一个案例，有助于华为下一步在本土向其他国产手机厂商收取专利费。

作为思科曾经起诉对象，华为对专利受制有着切肤之痛，近年来持续投入巨资开展技术研发，在通信领域特别是基础网络领域构建起国际领先的专利池。作为研发型企业，华为的存在对科技创新有正向引导作用。

不过也有专家认为，保护知识产权、促进科技创新需要考虑，但同时在专利费如何收取上，中小企业的生存也需考虑。

华为对三星的专利诉讼有何启示？如何保护知识产权？人民邮电出版社蓝戈沙龙近日展开了一场讨论。

进军海外也可能遇诉

过去由于高通“反向许可”保护机制存在，加上国内知识产权维权成本相对较高，国内手机市场几乎与海外常见的知识产权大战现象绝缘。

2015年，国家发改委对高通反垄断调查结束后，达成五项整改措施，其中一项包括，“不再要求我国手机生产企业将专利进行免费反向许可。”

“反向许可”机制下，使用高通芯片的企业需将其知识产权授权给高通，同时高通要求该企业不能该知识产权向高通客户征收专利费。该机制取消后，部分国产手机厂商可能需要向包括华为在内通信专利大量持有者交专利费。

有数据显示，目前LTE(4G)手机专利拥有者希望收取的专利费整机占比已超过30%，其中主要包括高通(3.25%)、阿尔卡特朗讯(已和诺基亚合并，2%)、诺基亚(1.5%)、华为(1.5%)、中兴(1%)等。

对于国产手机厂商而言，交更多专利费意味着本就微薄的利润更难以支撑企业可持续发展。

国产手机厂商的专利挑战不仅来自国内市场，由于中国手机市场逐步走向饱和、竞争和洗牌加剧，手机厂商被迫向智能手机普及率还在20%到30%的部分海外市场拓展生存空间。

而进军海外市场时，专利布局整体薄弱的厂商也可能面临专利诉讼不确定风险，如被诉，轻则需要缴纳赔款，重则可能被产品禁售。因此，专利能力将可能制约国产手机厂商出海，继而白白错失新的机遇市场。

专家：不能忽视中小企业

来自政府的人士表示，国内知识产权保护制度将更严格实施。“针对新的商业模式、新的商业形态，进行专利保护的立法正在进行，包括互联网、电商等。”国家知识产权局保护协调司董新蕊表示。

那么，什么样的知识产权保护方式更符合中国现实呢？部分参加沙龙的专家认为，平衡大企业和中小企业利益也很重要。

“从行业发展角度来看，我们需要支持大企业进行创新，但是从行业整体来看，从创造产值、解决就业角度，对中小企业也不能完全忽略。”中国信息通信研究院一位不愿具名的专家表示。

而正因为大量本土手机企业及配套零部件企业在产业价值链中所得较低，如完全照搬国外进行专利权保护，不考虑利润分配实际情况，将可能导致专利费高于企业所得利润情况，即使设计完美的制度也难以实施。

几家行业巨头共同垄断行业专利技术是当前行业现实，其地位一时难以受到挑战。北京市两高律师事务所律师董正伟认为，在保护巨头知识产权获得合理收益同时，也有必要通过反垄断手段对过高专利许可费行为进行制约。

“从专利法角度来讲要保护创新、鼓励发明创造，所以授予专利发明人在一定期间内享受专利成果，但另外一方面，我们也有担心因为专利技术实施垄断、取得过高经济利益，甚至不限于经济利益，这样就可能妨碍一些中小企业的竞争，甚至说科技创新。”董正伟说。

业内专家认为，部分中国手机企业应补足专利短板，多方位加强自身能力。

“以前，对于手机行业我们看的核心要素是价格、品牌、渠道、质量加服务，后面专利也会成为它的要素。”孙琪说。而在国产手机厂商出海时，他建议“抱团出海”或“有充分准备再出海”，“在专利储备不足情况下，在法律上、经验上还有资金上，我们是不是应该有更多积累？”

通信行业专家项立刚认为，高通已被迫放弃的“反向许可”机制是一柄双刃剑，应两方面去看待：一方面，其的确有“蛮横”和“不合理性”，对于要求已取得大量专利的企业并不公平，另一方面，该机制对新进入市场厂商是一种保护，具有一定价值。

项立刚表示，能否找到其他新的替代机制，帮助弱势企业通过专利实力联合平衡巨头力量，对于中小手机企业发展非常关键。
