Huawei has had a hard time in recent years. First of all, the construction of the 5G network has been sanctioned for no reason by the United States. Trying to win over the so-called allies and terminate the cooperation with Huawei 5G is also causing Huawei to suffer orders. Secondly, Huawei's 3C product line has had a hard time. Although desktop computers and tablets have not seen much sales drop, these products are not Huawei's "backbone" after all, and the real one is the Huawei mobile phone held by people.
Although Huawei's mobile phone business is not as good as its communications business, its growth rate is also increasing at a visible rate, and it has also become the number one in the world's mobile phone shipments, which makes Chinese people proud, but also makes foreign companies and politicians frightened. Some people have said that "making money by making mobile phones is about making friends." Although it is subjective, it is not unreasonable. Products like mobile phones are still a one-time transaction. If you want to continue to make profits, you must cooperate with multiple companies in terms of systems, information flow, etc. Mobile phones are just a carrier.
In order to limit the shipment of Huawei mobile phones, the US has been making more and more severe sanctions on Huawei. In layman's terms, TSMC cannot provide Huawei with the foundry of Kirin chip . The impact of this is that until now, Kirin chips are still not available in Huawei mobile phones and other devices, which directly affects Huawei's subsequent product release and plans. This is not the end. The US has further imposed system sanctions on Huawei through Google , causing the Android system on Huawei phones to stop updating and Google services, causing Huawei phones to lose overseas market sales. It can be said that Huawei was really miserable at that time.
The counterattack from Huawei
Huawei, which was forced into a dead end, is not a soft persimmon, it is not something that the Americans can pinch as long as they want. Maybe even the Americans themselves did not expect that Huawei could hold on until now, and it continued to launch Huawei's subsequent products. Although the time has been slow and the competitiveness of the products is not particularly strong, Huawei has proved to us that it has not been defeated.
and Huawei's subsequent counterattack has officially arrived. First of all, Huawei has accumulated a lot of experience and patents after years of 5G network research. As the saying goes, patents are something that other companies cannot use. If you really want to use 5G network patents in product , you must pay the patent fee to Huawei.
Huawei also sued Apple some time ago and obtained high patent compensation. Currently, Huawei is still making patent claims against other foreign companies. We also hope that Huawei can return to its previous appearance as soon as possible.
Huawei sued Xiaomi
If it is not uncommon for Huawei to sue foreign companies, Huawei even sued local Xiaomi this time, demanding that Xiaomi compensate its patent fees. Many people don’t understand this, thinking that they are of the same roots and why are they too anxious to fight each other? Huawei’s operation is not grand enough, but if you think so, it will be completely wrong.
First of all, Huawei's patents are also achieved through large amounts of capital investment in research and development and acquisition. If the patent is used at will by other companies and their patents are taken for themselves, it will definitely be a huge loss for Huawei, and consumers cannot recognize who the patent is. Secondly, Huawei is indeed facing problems in its capital chain and has to invest a lot of money in research and development, so Huawei really needs money at this time.
To summarize
I think Huawei did nothing wrong, just like what we worked hard to make was copied by others or even seek credit. We are definitely unwilling and unhappy. Huawei is exactly the case. All companies should also maintain mutual cooperation, but cooperation depends on cooperation, and the patent fees to be paid must be paid. After all, only in this way can everyone actively develop on the road of self-development, and making good products is an important part. Netizens said it well: "Brothers settle the score clearly"!
