"What's going on?" Cook came back to his senses, sat down again, and asked Will majestically. He really didn't understand why a good script had changed its plot now.

Will originally envisioned a very beautiful drama to defeat the new Nokia Mobile and then buy it, but suddenly changed direction.

"Regarding the patent used in the CPU, it was integrated into the CPU by ARM, in fact, we have been in a litigation dispute with NDK, and a few days ago NDK suddenly withdrew the lawsuit, we originally thought that NDK automatically withdrew the lawsuit because of its own financial support, but who knew that they actually sold this patent to the new Nokia Mobile Company." Speaking of this, Will has obviously lost his usual calm.

"Since NDK does not have the ability to compensate the huge amount of money that would result from losing the case, the judge will not support their request to stop selling the product, so we can keep delaying the time to obtain the grant of this patent at a lower cost. But now that the new Nokia Mobile has got the patent, they have filed a request for our infringing product to stop being sold. ”

"Since we are using an ARM chip with a public architecture, the other party can clearly indicate the fact of our infringement, so we will not be able to deal with this new counterclaim according to the original delay strategy. In addition to this, the new Nokia Mobile also filed a claim for damages. Will concluded.

After speaking, Will's forehead was already oozing sweat, and the reason why he was so anxious to report the latest progress of this matter was because the sudden counterclaim of the new Nokia Mobile was too sharp, completely aimed at Apple's mainstream products, and this patent infringement on the CPU was just one of them, and the new Nokia Mobile also proposed some other patents infringed by Apple.

Although Will didn't say it explicitly, Cook already knew that his subtext was that the company was now under threat of a total ban on the product, which is why Will was so anxious.

The patent war was initiated by Will, although everyone generally agreed with him.

But it really got to the point where it was out of control, and Will, the initiator, must be the first to be thrown out by the company.

But apparently, after hearing the news, Cook was not much better than Will.

Now that everyone is torn up, Cook will never expect the other party to let go of this good opportunity, compared to the new Nokia Mobile, the product ban is obviously under more pressure on Apple.

The new Nokia Mobile can rely on the mainland market of Chinese mainland to survive. But Apple doesn't even have such a safe haven, although it has a lot of cash in its hands, and it is not a big problem to support it in terms of funds, but if it really waits for the product to be completely banned, then the huge brand effect that has been built up so hard will collapse.

In order to erect the high-end image of Apple's iPhone and iPad brands, the company has spent a lot of effort to achieve today's level. Cook can't afford to have a huge negative impact on the brand from even a one-day product ban. It's not easy to build a brand, but destroying it often happens overnight.

Cook couldn't gamble any longer, and it was time for the battle to end, though Cook was extremely reluctant.

"Reconcile." Cook sat back in his chair.

Of course, not only President Cook is very depressed, Samsung, RIM, HTC, LG, etc. have received as many as a dozen patent infringement lawyer letters from the new Nokia Mobile, although some patents can be discarded, but everyone uses the ARM architecture CPU like Apple, and there is no way to bypass the road at this stage.

And Samsung, HTC, and LG will likely face more patent infringement allegations if they use Andriod, which uses a considerable amount of new Nokia mobile patented technology. originally wanted to jump out with Apple to get a piece of the pie, but now the bamboo basket is empty, so these presidents are definitely uncomfortable.

Although Microsoft and Ericsson are not companies that produce mobile phones, they are bound by the new patents proposed by the new Nokia Mobile in other aspects.

In the eyes of industry experts, the new Nokia Mobile has launched an unusually sharp patent counterattack.

The news of the new Nokia Mobile Jedi counterattack, which dominated the headlines of technology news for a while, flooded all corners of the world.

"Boss, so far, we have received faxes from Apple, Samsung, RIM, HTC, LG, Microsoft, Ericsson, Qualcomm and other companies asking for out-of-court settlements." Franco, the legal counsel, came to the office of the president of SAL with a stack of faxes.

Taking the fax in the hands of the legal counsel, Cai Siqiang took it with slightly trembling hands and looked at it carefully, he had been looking forward to the news for a long time, and when he finally judged with certainty that it was the fax sent by the other party, Cai Siqiang's heart, which had been hanging for a long time, finally fell to the ground like a big stone.

The huge pressure of survival not only forces a man like Zhao Jianwu to work hard, Cai Siqiang's heart is not always hanging on the life and death of the company, but he is the president of the company, and he must maintain a calm image and stabilize the military heart, so during this time, Cai Siqiang insisted on commuting to work at normal times on the surface, but Cai Siqiang, who returned home, did not lose sleep for a day.

Since Du Chengyi put forward this tactical concept of sword out of the edge, Cai Siqiang has been in a state of suffering from gains and losses. Fortunately, Du Chengyi finally fulfilled his mission and decisively and fiercely purchased the required patents in the shortest possible time.

Now Apple, Samsung, RIM, HTC, LG, Qualcomm, etc. are either mobile phone chip manufacturers, or mobile phone manufacturers that use ARM chips, anyway, they can't get around the new Nokia Mobile's patent on ARM chips, and it is natural for them to choose to give in.

As for Microsoft, Du Chengyi acquired a media playback patent and a browser patent, which are necessary for the Windows system, and it is not easy for Microsoft to replace them, at least in terms of cost, which is not necessarily much less than the patent licensing fee proposed to the new Nokia Mobile, so it is logical to propose a settlement.

Ericsson's large number of system equipment also uses Arm-based CPU chips, and it is impossible to limit its larger-selling products to the threat of banning for a little patent licensing fee.

A life-and-death battle for the new Nokia Mobile disappeared after a short hand-to-hand fight on an alternative battlefield. Cook never dreamed that the small companies that were bullied by themselves would play a huge role in this huge patent war.

However, in order to win this war, Duke and they paid an easy price, just to buy the patent that must be used in the ARM architecture, they paid a huge fee of 300 million US dollars, and all the patents were acquired at a cost of more than 2 billion US dollars.

There is no doubt that this is an extremely costly war. Basically, both SAL and MI have done their best and mobilized almost all of the cash to get it done. It can be said that after fighting this war, Duke and their vitality are also greatly damaged.

As for interDigital, it is not a direct competitor to the new Nokia Mobile, so it is asking for a reasonable licensing fee, and after paying a $1 patent licensing fee per unit, the new Nokia Mobile reached a settlement with the company to use its 4G patents.

So far, a war against the new Nokia Mobile patent encirclement and suppression ended with the new Nokia Mobile retreating.
