 |
According to a news report, Huawei reiterated that it will strictly abide by the FRAND (Fair, Reasonable, Non-Discriminatory) principle in patent licensing activities, not to blackmail industries and society and advocate other rights holders who are committed to promoting the implementation of 5G technology to accumulate patents. The rate is lower and more transparent than 4G. “We believe that any single rights holder is charged too high and unreasonable at 4%”. Huawei also said that “excessive patent fees will definitely damage the healthy development of the industry”. The industry has a business model that uses other commercial transactions to bundle intellectual property licenses, and Huawei opposes such practices”.
