Do the standard first-class enterprise, second-rate corporate tree brand, third-rate companies sell products. Until the foreign patent group wielded the big stick when the patent seems to have people come to realize, but many people still indulge in the gentle sleep.
DVD industry, military
of the optical disk system was lost in 1985, started production from the development to 2001, has become a DVD producer. At that time, the world's DVD output is 26 million units, of which China's output accounted for more than 1,000 million units. It also created a step by step, Kim, new subjects such as DVD-known brands. on DVD in China, the performance of enterprises for their own pride, when an unexpected thing happened.
2001 3 8 , 6C alliance China's DVD business to put forward an ultimatum demanding that China's DVD business before the April 1 must pay royalties to them, otherwise they will sue, and the lion's mouth, requiring each of China's exports to charge $ 20 DVD patent fees. China's DVD market, although manufacturers have production capacity, but did not grasp the core technology, DVD's core hardware and software are imported from abroad in the country is in fact a simple assembly. This is a typical l water fish r the best policy. The reason is simple, in 2000, the DVD market has just started, if they charge high prices, there is no admission of many manufacturers, the market will be difficult to cultivate it, and now the bigger piece of cake, and fish are raised , they considered the net to the time of the .6 C Union that manufacturers do? by Toshiba, Mitsubishi, Hitachi, Panasonic, JVC, Time Warner six companies, after IBM joined the Union, is still used to call 6C . And then there are more patent fees organization began the exploitation of China's DVD industry, including the 3C (by Philips, Sony, Pioneer three companies, after the addition of the LG as 4C), 1C (Thomson) and MPEG-LA (16 patents member companies of patent fees), which is eight-year invasion of what is the difference? snatch eight-Bale is naked. Today's society is the economic and cultural Competition, so the economy and the cultural invasion is definitely not taken lightly.
2002 年 4 19, the China Audio Industry Association in two years time, after many negotiations, finally signed an agreement with the 6C to provide Chinese manufacturers export 1 each Taiwan DVD player to pay $ 4 to their royalties. Subsequently, the association has signed with the 3C export a table for each DVD player to pay $ 5 to its royalties agreement. other royalty payments is: lC charge 2% of each sale price (minimum $ 2) royalties, charges $ 1 per Dolby royalties, MPEG-LA charge $ 4 per royalties (in 2002 to 2.5 U.S. dollars). At this point, the patent fee controversy seems to come to an end. At this point, the patent fee for each DVD or high reached $ 12.5.
DVD costs about Qi Cheng from movement, and decoding chips, components, these components are completely dependent on imports, domestic impossible for enterprises to deploy the price. hopes which can only reduce the cost of labor cost savings. but DVD assembling costs 10-15 yuan, however.
the international market in recent years, DVD sales prices continued to fall, the current U.S. DVD on the market U.S. retail price of only 30m40 machine, Chinese companies export a DVD for each machine will pay approximately $ 12.5, respectively, the patent fees. domestic DVD player is almost profitable export business, many companies no longer manufacture products or close down DVD , the remaining number of companies are OEM for foreign companies for OEM, so the pain is not a royalty. According to Chinese customs data, 1 September 2005, as a leading company in China DVD export of Guangdong Province exported DVD8060 million, of which foreign brands do OEM in the form of exports of processing trade amounted to 76.53 million units, accounting for total exports 95%.
costly
1G communications industry to pay royalties of up to age 250 000 000 000 element, in the 2G era, as much as 500 billion yuan.
We may try to end these two aspects of the system and take a look at China's telecommunications industry in the patent on the face.
system equipment to WCDMA technology as an example
, China's enterprises have to pay an average of 15% -20% of sales as royalties.
in CDMA technology, Qualcomm's current communication companies to pay 4.65% -6% of sales in royalties. If the other core patents companies charge the same fees, communications, business spending will account for royalties of sales 25% -30%.
Norson According to the National Bureau of Statistics data analysis concluded that, TD-SCDMA the TDD part of the Siemens has the largest number of patents, accounting for 21.6%, Datang, Huawei, ZTE, Qualcomm each approximately 12.2%, 10.1%, 7.4%, 6.1%; in SCDMA part of the number of patents 24.2% share followed by ZTE, Siemens 21.2 % 15.2% Datang, Huawei 12.1%, other 27.3%.
2006, ZTE CDMA base stations worldwide shipments of more than 12,000 current users worldwide, ZTE CDMA products have been accumulated over 60 million line capacity. According to Ministry of Information Industry Telecommunications Research Institute of the latest research report, 1-12 January 2006, ZTE CDMA the number of contracts accounting for 41% of the global total, ranking first. Norson Telecom Consulting predicted that sales in 2006, ZTE 4.7 billion dollars or so.
2006 Huawei WCDMA / HSPA contract added 28, as at the end of the year, Huawei's market share to 21% of the global GSM market, the top three ranked .2006 for the full year sales revenue reached 65.6 billion yuan (U.S. $ 8,450,000,000), The proportion of overseas sales exceeded 65%.
global telecom equipment manufacturers from the current point of view, Ericsson has given up CDMA, Nokia's CDMA business is no longer essential, Nortel losses, Lucent and Alcatel uncertain, it seems that only the ZTE, Both the CDMA Huawei is making money. and from the global market, in addition to the headquarters of Qualcomm CDMA base the North American market, the Republic of Korea can be said that Qualcomm's grain-producing areas, while China is the future hope of CDMA . Hopefully, ZTE and Huawei, all the way, do not pay too much royalties.
terminal center
ResearchInChina the cost of the patent did a survey around the world: the current CDMA royalties accounted for about mobile phone prices 5 ~ 6%, GSM royalties accounted for 16 to 17%. in the country, CDMA patent fees in the export product and domestic products accounted for 7% of mobile phone sales and 2.75%. according to this ratio, export mobile phones GSM patent fees and royalties domestic product prices were 13% for the whole and 8%. However, ResearchInChina Center tour manager, added: does not manufacture the core components of mobile phones, so royalties directly facing / license fees will focus on operating systems, human-machine interface and exterior design. This part of the overall patent royalty fees accounted for about 50 ~ 70%. > According to the Ministry of Information Industry Information: In early 2004, China's mobile phone export Blair before the May total exports of 51.01 million mobile phones, the cumulative export value of 4.9 billion U.S. dollars, respectively, year on year increase of 57.7% and 103.8%.
GSM < br> GSM mobile phone patents focused on Nokia, Motorola, Siemens, Sony Ericsson, Alcatel, Philips, Microsoft, Texas Instruments and many other enterprises. These have a dominant position in the GSM mobile terminal equipment manufacturers charged patent fees the price of mobile phone sales can account for about 10%. GSM mobile phone is the lack of essential patents restricting bottleneck in the development of domestic mobile phone. including the baseband chip, RF chip, the core underlying software patents, China's mobile phone business has not fully mastered the key components Basically, production and supply by the foreign companies. has essential patents of companies focused on Nokia, Motorola, Siemens, Alcatel, Philips, Ericsson and six, based on the total mobile phone patents 85%.
to GSM mobile phones Patent disputes are concentrated in the operating system as an example. Symbian, Microsoft, BlackBerry, Linux, Palm camp, which began five fierce market competition, particularly in 2003, favored by the market after the smart phone. the moment, the development of truly autonomous Keith phone operating system group Hopen (Hopen system), Branch Bank of Beijing into Delta (Road System), Bird's Doeasy (and more easily with the system) and many, and some other open-source Linux system in a second development of the operating system platform, such as the Yulong the Linous (collar Chi System), CMS's mLinux Nanjing and so on. these operating systems in the industry on the difficult road ahead. HOPEN Chinese Academy of Sciences of the domestic unit cost less than the operating system Symbian OS development one-tenth, to achieve most of the relevant features. and HOPEN system is the control center software engineering Chinese Academy of Sciences developed the first set of national self-developed smart phone operating system, and applied for a patent.
Let us take a look at mobile phone operator system of this world, what exactly is a.
Canalys research data shows the company's 2006 global smart phone shipments for the 64.1 million, compared with 63% growth in 2005, from the operating system perspective, Symbian in the 2006, still accounts for 67% of market share (63% in 2005); Microsoft operating system dropped slightly to 14%, but still ranked second; launch BlackBerry (BlackBerry) The Canadian company RIM's system is more than Linux came in the third place share of 7%; Linux's market share is 6%; after the acquisition of PalmSource (PalmSource last year, the Japanese company ACCESS Linux Access and moving to areas of the formal acquisition), ACCESS Garnet operating system accounted for 5 % of the share. However, RIM and Palm have 3 / 4 of sales from the North American market.
CCID Consulting in December 2006 on the end of last October by the Chinese smart phone operating system market by sales structure given A data. which, Symbian is 63.2%, Linux is 30.3%.
GFK analyst data provided Pang Jun, 2006 1-10 months, Symbian operating system in China is about 60% the proportion, Linux is 30%, while Microsoft is only 7%.
2007 年 mid-January, from Symbian, the UK officially settled in China. Nokia is Symbian's largest shareholder. Lenovo and BenQ have launched a cooperation with Symbian.
In the Linux platform, in order to create a competitive, Linux-oriented software platform for mobile devices, Motorola, NEC, NTT DoCoMo, Panasonic Mobile Communications, Samsung Electronics and Vodafone announced the formal establishment of the LiMo Foundation, a few days ago. At this point, the smart One of the Linux mobile operating system, finally has a decent organization, concluded its relatively loose in the past. Linux by Motorola's favor, the world's second largest mobile phone maker Motorola will Linux as the company's leading smartphone operating system. The Linux because of its free and open, but also makes Motorola cut costs more effectively. However, the use of Linux, Motorola has also earned the Microsoft operating system and Symbian license.
2005 年 9 8, love can be letter to the company and Paim OS provider PalmSource announced that they have ACCESS to reach a definitive agreement to acquire PalmSource, through this acquisition, ACCESS received the operating system's core technologies, as well as in the United States, France and China Linux for mobile device development resources. North American users prefer to use the Palm operating system and customary in China, or ACCESS Linux-based business.
present, Lenovo and BenQ and Symbian has launched a cooperative, and only Dopod smart phone operating system is Microsoft's loyal customers. Amoi many smart phone using Microsoft's system, but there are also some self-developed products based on Linux. Yulong Shenzhen Microsoft and Linux systems have been developed on, it is possible cooperation with Symbian. waveguide, TCL, Changhong, Jin, and many local enterprises are of vital importance mobile phone operating system makers.
then China's mobile phone operating system, your moral character in the Where? worth mentioning , in the 3G platform, Datang has also released its own mobile phone operating system .2006 December 4, independently developed by Datang Mobile Arena operating system released in Hong Kong, Arena development community on the same day on-line. Large Tang said the Arena Mobile is the only way to solve global interoperability of mobile terminal operating system business. Currently Arena has been the domestic vendors, ZTE, and South Korea SK Telecom's support. Arena led the development of Datang Mobile, TD-SCDMA is currently mainly used in mobile phones , more than 10 2G, 2.5G and 3G handsets using the operating system. In today's conference, ZTE and SK Telecom and Korea attended the Arena's on-line publishing and the community. Arena Although the main used in TD-SCDMA, but the same can be applied to all other 2G and 3G mobile terminals. Liu Ji Tong said it hopes the advantages of TD-SCDMA with the ability to push the other 2G and 3G Arena operating system. Datang, please take care not to live up to the expectations of the people and country!
CDMA
in the CDMA mobile phones, we only need to look at this information.
2006 年 Jacob visited India said that in India, the current CDMA mobile phones each imposed a 5% royalty. This is a collection of the world's lowest standards.
2006 年 3 months, the global GSM Association announced that 30 U.S. dollars for developing countries to release mobile phones, Kyocera CDMA royalties exclusion high.
2006 年 6 month, Nokia announced the cancellation of a joint venture with Sanyo, CDMA mobile phones out of the market complain about Qualcomm royalties high end CDMA mobile phones in 2008.
Nokia have pulled out, the day of the Chinese mobile phone manufacturers can do better?
South Korean mobile phone Let us take a look at the market
Korean mobile phone market situation it. GSM and CDMA mobile phones in Korea can be said to fire and water are two different worlds. GSM mobile phone export accounted for 69.95% South Korea, foreign patent holders to receive the expensive royalties, and the proliferation of low-priced products, medium and small manufacturers in Korea caused a serious blow, and some have even gone bankrupt. The industry believes that the reason why the situation of China's mobile phone business would be better than the Korean firms. because South Korea does not GSM operators Business, GSM mobile phone can only be all for export, mobile phone operators alone and helpless; while China has the world's largest GSM market, once the operator to speak, in China, have occupied a considerable market vendors who patent owners should not take this more harm than good risk. handsets in CDMA, Qualcomm in August 2006 and gradually exempted from Samsung, LG's CDMA handset royalties. QUALCOMM and Samsung Electronics, according to a copy of the contract until the contract expires, as the world's first the three major mobile phone manufacturers Samsung CDMA in South Korea will be exempt from royalties. As for output to overseas markets, CDMA mobile phones, also started from August 2008 to gradually exempt from royalties. It is understood that the two companies in 1993 The agreement was signed. The two companies provided by the contract, No mobile phones sold in South Korea to pay royalties. product market, the cumulative royalty payments to 2 trillion won.
MP3 MP3 market ushered in the dawn of the patent
said that the text - it is no wonder yellow patent, known to everybody. text - Yellow Patent is the South Korean human light Zhu and Huang Ting summer in 1998 in China submitted, and was adopted in China Patent No. 98114958.8. January 2006, the patent is SigmaTel in the bag. Then, SigmaTel in the world to start the patent licensing program All MP3 manufacturers are faced with two choices: First platform, based on SigmaTel solutions, and second, to pay a certain amount of license fees.
It is reported that in 1993, Thomson and Fraunhofer Institute in Germany to determine the MP3 format, they The MP3 technology has over 20 patent series. the world's leading Microsoft, Intel, Apple, Sony, Panasonic, Samsung, LG, and Sigmatel MP3 chip maker Thomson and other early and reached a joint agreement of patents and copyrights, however, China 1000 MP3 manufacturers in more than 95% did not consent Thomson patents. Thomson predicted that in 2008, China MP3 market demand is expected to total more than 18 million. If the MP3 player manufacturers from the perspective of calculating royalties, 3 years later, Thomson in China each year can be obtained only from $ 13,500,000. worldwide MP3 sales in China more than .2004, MP3 total global sales reached 40 million, in 2009, it will reach 150 million. This mean, according to the Chinese market is charging standard, 4 years later, Thomson obtained annually from the $ 127,500,000 global market royalties.
2005 年 1 月 Europe there is a Italian company called Sisvel the second half of last year Chinese MP3 manufacturers to collect royalties for each $ 2. According to reports, MP3 export prices in general is about 50 dollars to 100 U.S. dollars / units, the figure $ 2 more than the price of patent fees 5%. and China now exports a considerable portion of low-grade products, MP3, about more than 30 U.S. dollars / units, margins are only 2 to 3 dollars / units.
2005 年 3 month, the U.S. MP3 player decoder chip manufacturer SigmaTel to Chinese competition Actions mm opponents sued the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC), said that the latter violated its own portable MP3 Player Used for System on Chip (SoC) controller of patents, Section 337 requires the use of ITC Actions sanctions .2006 March 21, the U.S. International Trade Commission initially ruled that the Federal, Actions to be included in the survey of several models of digital chips, are all involved in the case of the two patents (Patent No. 6,366,522, No. 6,633,187 patent) infringement .2006 September retrial. At the same time, Actions application in May 2006 Moon-Hwang patent is invalid, and in the June 12 filing by the National Patent Office .9 months, ITC ruling Actions of some products infringe SigmaTel's patents 6,633,187 and 6,366,522 both , then Actions to the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) made a request to re-examine the SigmaTel have numbered 6,633,187 and 6,366,522 validity of two patents. U.S. Eastern time at 8:30 on September 13 ( Beijing at 20:30 on September 13) news, Actions Semiconductor (Nasdaq: ACTS) on Wednesday announced that it has been in China for SigmaTel and its subsidiaries filed a lawsuit to stop the infringement of SigmaTel urged Actions Company intellectual property rights, claims 98 million yuan.
2005 年 9 months, Thomson plans to mainland China manufacturers charge royalties MP3, MP3 player to be 0.75 per million (approximately RMB 6 contracts million). Thomson claimed that almost all of mainland China IC MP3 players use its patented technology. the mainland most of the MP3 manufacturers are small, are generally produced no brand MP3 player. Taiwan's own brand the MP3 manufacturers, plans to use SigmaTel's integrated circuit design, such as to avoid patent fees imposed, or costs passed on to the OEM manufacturer of the body.
nominal royalties heteropolyacid, MP3 enterprises will once again face extinction ? Actions Semiconductor's MP3 is able to lead the company out of China, the mire of patent fees, we will wait and see.
when people wake up?
digital television and IPTV business seems to be increasingly widely used, in these new areas , MPEG4 technology patents held by foreign manufacturers even offered to produce the next one to follow, and according to the user viewing time to collect royalties, is simply atrocious, how on earth do we? China, ah, Chinese entrepreneurs, and you wake up No?
