Chapter 215: Disgusting Qualcomm
But the current Galaxy-T1 chip is different, it is much better than the Kirin 970, and it is even better than Apple's A12. Therefore, domestic mobile phone manufacturers are ready to move.
Because this Galaxy-T1 chip is really worth their shot!
In the past few days, four or five companies such as OPPO and Xiaomi have sent representatives to Xiao Jun's company to negotiate on the Galaxy-T1 chip. However, the first contact and negotiation, there are huge differences in the cooperation intentions of both parties.
So we are still waiting for the next discussions!
At the same time, Qualcomm is also coming to the door!
Without it, Qualcomm needs to charge Xiao Jun's company a huge amount of CDMA communication technology patent fees!
It stands to reason that Xiao Jun's Galaxy-T1 chip has nothing to do with Qualcomm communication technology.
The Galaxy-T1 chip belongs to the independent research and development of Galaxy Technology, and all the technologies in the chip belong to itself. There should be no need to pay any royalties to Qualcomm.
In fact, it is not, because this CDMA involves Qualcomm's patent, and CDMA can also be said to be a communication baseband. Although the communication baseband in Xiao Jun's chip does not use Qualcomm's technology at all. All are self-developed.
However, CDMA is a patent applied for by Qualcomm in 2000, and most of the world's chips or mobile phones need to pay Qualcomm communication technology patent fees!
At present, there is almost a 99% probability that Qualcomm's standard patents are used in the communication technology used in mobile phone products. Considering the number of patents owned by Qualcomm and the communication standards, it is basically impossible to bypass Qualcomm to implement CDMA-related technologies.
That is to say, even if you do not use Qualcomm's Snapdragon chips, but use Kirin chips, MediaTek chips, Samsung chips, Apple chips, etc., you have to pay Qualcomm patent fees.
CDMA technology baseband chips mainly involve patent licensing, such as Apple, Samsung and other companies, they are not unable to develop communication basebands, but even if Apple Samsung makes it itself, it is necessary to pay patent fees to Qualcomm, so it is better to buy Qualcomm's communication baseband by yourself!
In other words, Qualcomm is completely a rogue company, a disgusting company, a monopoly company!
Of course, now Apple and Samsung have developed their own communication basebands and researched them. However, royalties still need to be paid. Among them, the contradiction between Apple and Qualcomm is the greatest, Apple is unwilling to pay Qualcomm communication patent fees, because it is completely a free job for Qualcomm!
The existence that caused all this is this CDMA communication technology patent!
Anyway, now the world's mobile phone companies are working for Qualcomm for free!
Whether you use its chips or not, you have to pay it a communication patent fee. If you buy its chips, in addition to paying the principal of the chip, you also need to pay for the communication patent!
It's a very disgusting place!
It's like if you buy an egg, in addition to the money you pay to buy the egg, you have to pay the patent fee for a raw egg, is it disgusting?
Now, of course, Xiao Jun does not need to pay Qualcomm for the communication baseband, because Xiao Jun did not buy Qualcomm's communication technology. However, there is a fee for the CDMA communication patent.
This is also a huge amount of patent fees!
Suffice it to say, 99% of the world's mobile phone manufacturing companies hate Qualcomm. Because they are all working for Qualcomm for free, they are forced to give each other a free commission!
For example, if you OPPO makes a mobile phone, your mobile phone chip does not use Qualcomm's Snapdragon chip, you use Samsung chip, and your mobile phone technology has nothing to do with Qualcomm.
But when you sell, you still need to pay Qualcomm 5% of the CDMA communication technology patent fee.
For example, if your mobile phone sells for 2,000 yuan, 2,000 yuan X 65% X 5% = 65 yuan. That is to say, if you sell a mobile phone for 2,000 yuan in the market, you need to pay Qualcomm a patent fee of 65 yuan.
If you produce a total of 10 million mobile phones, that's 650 million communication royalties!
Qualcomm didn't do anything, didn't provide you with technology, didn't help you in any way, your product has nothing to do with Qualcomm, but you need to pay 650 million for communication technology patents.
Pit is not cheating, evil is not disgusting, eating people does not spit out bones!
This is an absolute monopoly technology!
Unless, unless your phone doesn't have communication capabilities, you don't need to pay Qualcomm this fee.
But have you ever seen that mobile phone that can't make calls? The pit daddy is here, and it can't get around Qualcomm's CDMA communication patent at all. If you want to hate, you hate that people have already registered and applied for this patented technology!
Qualcomm's hatefulness lies in the fact that he has mastered almost all the patented technologies of communication technology in the 2G era, and the later 3G4G5G technologies are all developed on the basis of 2G technology!
However, there are still several large companies that are confronting Qualcomm's rogue company.
Needless to say, Apple, Samsung, and Qualcomm are mortal enemies. Neither company currently pays each other for the cheating royalty. The lawsuit between the two sides is inextricably linked.
There is also Huawei, which is different from Huawei, because Huawei specializes in communication equipment technology, and later made mobile phones. Moreover, in the later 3G, 4G communication technology, control of a part of the technology patents, can be cross-licensed with Qualcomm to reduce the patent fee of the baseband chip communication patent! That is to say, if you Qualcomm wants to do something, you also need to pay the patent fee to me, so that everyone cancels each other.
Huawei does not need or only needs to pay a small royalty to Qualcomm.
But other companies are different, and they can only let Qualcomm cut leeks!
Now Xiao Jun is facing this problem.
If you don't pay the patent fee, his chip research can't be mass-produced and sold, if you want to mass-produce and sell, you can pay the patent fee, and if you don't pay, you can sue your bottoms.
Now in Xiao Jun's chip, there are several major technologies, only the communication baseband is dead by Qualcomm card. Royalties are required!
"Boss, the representative sent by Qualcomm wants to negotiate with you this afternoon!" Su Ci said to Xiao Jun.
"Well, I see! I'll talk to them then. Xiao Jun said lightly.
"Qualcomm is a company that eats people and doesn't spit out bones, and I guess we'll be extorted a lot of money this time. Su Ci said worriedly. Their Galaxy-T1 chip is in danger of being difficult to deliver in the face of huge communication patent fees.
"Hmph, big deal, I don't do commercial production. Xiao Jun didn't care.
