Huawei may pay more than US $500 million for cross patent authorization every year

On May 5, according to Sina Technology, foreign media reported that Qualcomm and Huawei are negotiating a patent settlement, which has been confirmed by Qualcomm. It seems that who has mastered the core technology will have the most say!

According to industry sources, Huawei may pay more than $500 million in patent fees to Qualcomm in this settlement, but it is far lower than the $4.5 billion that apple and Qualcomm paid in the settlement disclosed earlier. The main reason may be that Huawei also has a large number of patents in the field of communication, especially in 5g network technology. Huawei can grant cross patents with Qualcomm, thus reducing the cost of core patents.
