What is the reason for Apple s infringement of Qualcomm

Apple was banned by the court because of the infringement of Qualcomm's related patents, so there is a question here: does Apple do not need to pay patent fees for Qualcomm's patented design or technology? Or did Apple not know that it was Qualcomm's patent and rashly adopted it? In fact, one of the patents is particularly funny:

The animation of the exit screen on the card of the multitasking interface,So the animation has been canceled in the recent iOS system update.,Is this not infringing?

In fact, there are this kind of particularly ambiguous patents in the mobile phone circle, for example, Coolpad sued Xiaomi for patent infringement before, which is what it looks like, mobile phone manufacturers accidentally infringe when they do system interaction, or when they have a good relationship with a company, this kind of inconsequential patent is used casually, everyone knows that Qualcomm used to provide communication basebands to Apple, with one or two billion chip shipments a year, this is a big funder, of course, Qualcomm will not care about these things with Apple, But now that you don't use my baseband, I'm going to sue you for infringement?

And once you are sued by the patent party, it is not as simple as giving patent fees, just rushing to kill your position, that is, the ban is the ultimate goal, and once the court determines that you have infringed, it is either a ban or a settlement with the patent holder, so Qualcomm is just targeting Apple to get more bargaining chips, and in the face of this kind of game between large companies, the ban is sometimes not so easy, so you see that Apple is not banned now, It's still the same you can buy!

And when there are too many interests involved, there will be no black and white things, how will the lawsuit between Qualcomm and Apple be resolved in the end, I believe that there will be an answer in a month or two, anyway, the ban is basically impossible, and the patent game between manufacturers is also very complicated, especially for the relatively relaxed environment in China, many patent battles are finally settled.

Although it was banned from sales, Apple is still selling iPhones, and emphasizes that as long as you upgrade iOS 12, you can perfectly avoid infringing Qualcomm's patents.

Now, Qualcomm has publicly stated that Apple continues to sell infringing iPhones in China, in violation of a recent injunction issued by a Chinese court.

Qualcomm announced on the evening of December 10 that the Intermediate People's Court of Fuzhou City, China, has issued a preliminary injunction prohibiting Apple from importing and selling the iPhone 6S, iPhone 6S Plus, iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X in the Chinese market, after the court found that Apple infringed two of Qualcomm's software patents.

Apple later responded that at present, Chinese consumers can still buy all models of iPhones. They will seek all legal options through the courts.

In addition, Qualcomm also reiterated that the lawsuit is against the product, not the operating system, and the iOS 12 system also involves the patent at issue, unless the infringement of Qualcomm's patents no longer exists after upgrading the new system, it can be said that Apple is not infringing.

To put it simply, it's just to get 5G

The reasons are as follows: 1. In recent years, China has strengthened the protection of intellectual property rights with unprecedented efforts, and has taken a series of measures, including the establishment of specialized intellectual property courts, and China's judicial protection of intellectual property rights has been increasingly improved.

2. The Chinese market is very important to these two companies, and China is an important part of Apple's global ** chain, and China is also a vital strategic market for Gaoshu Stool Opening.

Yes, Apple infringes several patents of Qualcomm.

The court held that Qualcomm's request had a procedural basis. The court also mentioned that the patent infringement involved Qualcomm's invention patent for "card metaphor of activity in a computing device", and Qualcomm provided a copy of the patent, confirming that Qualcomm was the patentee of the patent.

The patents in question allegedly include the operation of adjusting and resetting the size and appearance of **, and the management of the app via the touch screen when browsing on the phone, finding and exiting the app. There is an argument that this is a patent based on the iOS system, and the latest version of iOS 12 is not affected by these two patents, and the latest version of Apple's mobile phone is therefore excluded.

Qualcomm sued Apple for patent infringement, and Qualcomm is the overlord of the mobile phone industry!

Qualcomm is an American radio communication technology research and development company, founded in July 1985, known for CDMA technology, the world's fastest growing wireless technology. The company is headquartered in San Diego, California, USA. Qualcomm is an American radio communication technology research and development company, founded in July 1985, known for its CDMA technology, which is the fastest growing wireless technology in the world.

The company is headquartered in San Diego, California, USA. Qualcomm's business includes technology-leading 3G and 4G chipsets, system software, and development tools and products.

$27 billion claimed! Apple's Qualcomm patent war has escalated, how long can Qualcomm's patent "rogue" be? Qualcomm and Apple have been embroiled in escalating legal proceedings since Apple accused Qualcomm of charging unfair royalties for "unrelated technologies" in 2017 and demanded that Qualcomm pay a huge $1 billion lawsuit.

On April 15, Apple and Qualcomm met again in court. This is one of the largest corporate lawsuits in the United States, with damages of up to $27 billion.

According to the Financial Times on April 14, the lawsuit will last for four weeks in a federal court in San Diego, and Apple CEO Tim Cook is expected to testify in the lawsuit against Wang. Including Apple and the four companies on its ** chain, they will sue for the high-pass chip concession, with damages of up to $27 billion.

Qualcomm has denied wrongdoing and accused Apple of forcing its longtime business partner to withdraw from paying patent concessions and seeking up to $15 billion in damages.

Given the escalating legal battles between the two companies, there are rumors that Apple is considering phasing out Qualcomm chips from its future devices in favor of Intel and MediaTek chips.

Behind the dispute over patent licensing fees is the competition for scarce resources.

A dispute is not about one party hurting the other, and it is not about breaking the net, but about the competition for scarce resources. Behind the contention, there is a higher technological "gold content" and a more fierce competition for interests. Once the interests of the two sides are balanced, this kind of contention will no longer exist.

In addition to the contest of strength and dignity between the two sides, what is hidden behind the patent licensing dispute between Apple and Qualcomm is the rapid divergence of interests between the two parties and the competition for the main power of the industrial chain. Regardless of Apple's win or loss, it will be a huge challenge to the Qualcomm model.

For Apple, without the support of Qualcomm's wireless technology, there will be a question mark over whether the iPhone can still be a high-quality product. For Qualcomm, if it loses Apple, its largest customer, the loss of revenue is also incalculable. A series of interests are destined to have only one ending in this lawsuit, and that is reconciliation.

However, no matter what the result is, there is only one thing for mobile phone manufacturers to do, that is, to accept the reality, constantly improve their patent reserves, further reduce their dependence on Qualcomm, and enhance their initiative in intellectual property rights.

Trademark registration, trademark transfer, patent application, intellectual property services, just look for Bajie.

As the world's largest company in terms of market capitalization, Apple, near the end of the year is not only "not easy", not long ago Apple was exposed"Frequency Reduction Gate" incident, caused a wave of abuse from users at home and abroad, and even took Apple to court, and the maximum compensation is as high as 999 billion US dollars, you know, although Apple is the world's largest company in market capitalization, its market value is only 875.7 billion US dollars, this is the practice of squeezing Apple dry. In fact, this is not the first lawsuit letter Apple has received this year, and today I will take stock of the lawsuit that Apple has caused this year.

At that time, when the iPhone 8 X was released, Qualcomm sent a "meeting gift" - a lawsuit. Qualcomm's lawsuit is vicious: to ban Apple from manufacturing and selling iPhones in China.

And give his own reasons: Apple used his Qualcomm patented technology, but refused to give money. These two are all I said I am reasonable, I can't say who is right and who is wrong, involving two major technology bosses, I believe it is difficult to choose for a while, of course, not to let the iPhone sell in China, it is not realistic.

After all, the prohibition of sales is not the real purpose, the real purpose is: profit.
