When it comes to patents, in the past, most foreign companies occupied a larger share of patents, and they also made a lot of profits based on the patents in their hands. At that time, our country did not pay too much attention to intellectual property rights in semiconductor technology. But I don’t know when it started, but our country has also begun to pay attention to patents. However, in many patent litigation, our domestic companies generally have a disadvantage. But I didn't expect that this time there would be a "turnaround".
Just recently, according to reports, , Intel officially announced a result that the patent dispute case with the Institute of Microelectronics, Chinese Academy of Sciences has obtained Intel's compromise. According to Intel, they currently signed the confidentiality agreement , which resolved the litigation issues that were previously resolved. At the same time, Intel also stated that it will continue to obtain licenses for the patents of microelectronics.
For this message, we can say that this is a situation where Intel "hard resistance" is useless. The reason for saying this is because as early as 2018, the Institute of Microelectronics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences stated that Intel infringed one of the FinFET patents and demanded Intel to compensate 200 million yuan. However, Intel did not recognize it and mentioned invalid requests on the issue of this patent one after another. Although the invalid request of has been rejected many times, Intel still refused to admit defeat. Obviously, Intel at that time wanted to have a free "lunch".
However, the final situation did not work as Intel wished, and Intel took the initiative to end this years-long patent competition. In this regard, foreign media said: , the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has made a good start. I personally think that such remarks have some truth. First of all, Intel's choice to settle is to some extent a recognition of the patents of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. can allow American companies that have always liked to have free lunch to actively choose to reconcile, and there is a next step of license acquisition. Obviously, the Chinese Academy of Sciences has a greater "winning chance". Under this background, it will be more conducive to our future domestic companies to stand up and protect their rights when their patents are infringed by foreign companies. You should know that in the past, many patent lawsuits initiated for our own interests have lost. From a certain perspective, many companies no longer have the confidence to maintain this. Then with the "success" of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, this is a good start. Of course, this is not the most critical. The most important thing about is that while the patent of the Institute of Microelectronics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences was recognized by Intel, it also signed subsequent patent cooperation. This means that the patents of the Institute of Microelectronics, Chinese Academy of Sciences will be smoother in the future patent fees. After all, according to the data, the number of FinFET patents owned by Microelectronics ranks 11th, and its overall patent quality ranks first in the world, directly surpassing large chip companies such as TSMC and Intel. With such patent background, coupled with Intel's compromise this time. We can think that the Chinese Academy of Sciences has indeed made a good start this time. The editor believes that with the good results of the chip patent dispute between the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Intel, our domestic companies will pay more attention to quality patents, and at the same time, it will also usher in an era of patent charging. Personally, I believe that under the current severe situation of chip disputes, the more quality patents, the greater our "winning chance". How do you view this?
