First is Apple!

The second one should be Ziweixing!

Ziweixing takes the place where htc should have been in the previous life.

Thinking of htc, Zhou Buqi suddenly became sensitive, and his mind became serious. He said in a deep voice: "Old Zhou, you have to be prepared. If Aster is just a small mobile phone manufacturer, that's it. If sales increase sharply, it will definitely happen.

Attracting patent trolls. I heard that there are many shell companies in the United States that are not engaged in production, but are litigating every day and constantly collecting intellectual property fees."

Zhou Shaoning said with a smile: "We have already paid US$60 in patent fees."

For a mobile phone priced at US$400-500, the patent fee is US$60.

It can kill someone.

But this is just the beginning, nothing at all.

The patent fee of US$60 is just a patent in the feature phone era.

The patent system in the smartphone era has not yet been established. This business also has a patent fee of US$60. For example, the largest patent on Wi-Fi technology costs US$40 per mobile phone.

That adds up to $120.

This is faster than a printing press printing money.

Zhou Buqi said in a deep voice: "The current patents mainly focus on the patents contained in traditional feature phones. What we are making is smart phones. Who are the big players in smart phones?"

Zhou Shaoning was stunned for a moment and lost his voice: "You mean... Apple?"

Zhou Buqi said: "This is certain. The iPhone is a legendary product and represents the mainstream direction of smart phones in the future. This means that all smart phones have to pay various patent fees to Apple. Unless they give up

American market.”

This is not alarmist.

BlackBerry and HTC were sued by Apple over smartphone patents, lost the US market, and quickly fell from the altar. Huawei, OV, Xiaomi and other mobile phones were hindered from entering the US market, and the patent fees were insurmountable.

Only Samsung can handle it.

Because Samsung is an old mobile phone manufacturer with a high level of technology and holds a large number of mobile phone patents from the feature phone era. Even smart phones cannot overcome these patents.

In other words, Samsung infringed on Apple's smartphone patents, and Apple infringed on Samsung's feature phone patents. They were evenly matched, and no one could do anything about the other. Samsung paid the difference in patent fees, and the matter was over, and there was no need to be banned.

Penalties for selling.

Since then, there have been only two mainstream mobile phones in the U.S. market: Apple and Samsung. Other mobile phone brands have found it difficult to cooperate with operators and are basically dead.

MSI's mobile phone business is similar to that of BlackBerry and HTC. It is too short-lived and has no foundation. It lacks patents. It does not have the wealth of Google to spend tens of billions of dollars to acquire Motorola.

If you file a copyright lawsuit in the future, you will suffer a lot.

It is very unwilling to withdraw from the US market and only focus on the Asian and European markets like Huawei and Xiaomi.

Fortunately, Zhoubuqi has the advantage of foresight and hastily developed some amazing designs for the iPhone in the next few years and applied for patents.

The technical level of many patents is not high. They are purely creative patents and are easy to obtain.

Well, first buy the domestic trademark of iPad!

It is best to go to Europe, Korea, Japan, India, the Middle East, South America and Southeast Asia and register the iPad trademark in advance.

There are also iwatches and airpods.
