Chapter 2992: For Your Own Good

You went to my green onion field to plant green onions, and you still said with a righteous face that you were doing it for my own good?

You have money, so that makes sense?

In any case, among the people present at the meeting today, Quan Wuxuan is the one who has dealt with Feng Yiping the most. Despite these interactions with Feng Yiping, as long as he is not in the same camp with him, the final result... Tsk, he is not willing to Thinking about it again, he was undoubtedly familiar enough with Feng Yiping - at least that's what he thought.

The most difficult thing for him to accept is that no matter what happens, Feng Yiping must create the illusion that I am standing in your perspective and thinking for you. Is this interesting?

And such an unquestionable posture will always make him think of other people and things involuntarily. When he was a child, his parents and teachers were like this, too. Whether I hit you or scolded you, I was doing it all for your own good... …

My youngest son is much older than you, why do I still listen to you speaking in such a tone?

Quan Wuxuan didn't believe it. Others present at the meeting had no opinion on Feng Yiping's attitude and his clear statement at the beginning. So why didn't you refute it?

As he thought, companies including domestic companies also had reservations about Feng Yiping's statement to a large extent, but are they refuting it now?

Please, this is Feng Yiping, so you can interrupt him casually like this?

Considering that his face was being shown on the screen over there, Kwon Wu-hyun, who had a straight face, could only roll his eyes - you guys have disappointed me!

"Everyone knows that there are some situations that I don't need to explain," Feng Yiping raised his head and glanced blankly. "Since the release of Android, with the cooperation of the Open Handset Alliance, we have occupied an absolute advantage in the smartphone market."

"I can tell you with certainty that our advantages in this area will be further expanded,"

Rubin unscrewed a bottle of water.

Of course it will be expanded, but if this happens, we will be really miserable. Not only do we have to continue to update Android, but we also have to develop an operating system for PCs. But this is not the ultimate goal. The ultimate goal is to develop an operating system that can Systems that run everything from smart home devices to laptops to mobile phones.

He took a sip of water and couldn't help but touch his already bald head and hair. I don't have extravagant hopes. I hope that one day, his hand will pass across his forehead like wiping sweat, at least my eyebrows. Still in...

"So the problem is that we have been jointly targeted by relevant parties. I think there should be no one here who has not received a lawyer's letter from the relevant parties."

Indeed, even Sony Ericsson, which has the smallest market share, has received it, so no one here should be spared.

"This will inevitably add a lot of additional costs to everyone," Feng Yiping glanced at HTC's Mr. Wang, "The problem is, judging from the situation we have - I think everyone has learned some relevant information. Information, this is just the beginning, there are more lawsuits waiting for us ahead,"

"So now it seems that because of this problem, the increased cost of one of our mobile phones may only be US$5 or US$10, but if this continues, the increased cost in the future may be US$50!"

Except for Mr. Wang from HTC, everyone else looked solemn.

Wang always felt a little embarrassed.

It should be said that the compromise they quickly reached with Microsoft really set a bad precedent.

Although compared to the price of the whole machine, it is not unaffordable for HTC at US$5 per unit, but it is something that makes her feel heartbroken just thinking about it. According to the current trend, this quarter, they will at least have to pay Microsoft US$70 million in patent licensing fees.

70 million US dollars a quarter!

More importantly, yes, as Feng Yiping said, this will definitely give Microsoft and other relevant parties a great incentive. In the face of such benefits, no patent owner will be willing to choose settlement instead of resorting to law. .

So in the future, it is really possible to accumulate 50 US dollars per unit.

Not to mention 50 US dollars, it is 15 US dollars, which is also unaffordable to everyone.

Feng Yiping looked around slowly, "It seems that everyone agrees with my statement,"

"However, judging from the current situation, we have to say that we are relatively lucky because Motorola has not launched a lawsuit against us yet,"

This is really something that makes everyone, especially companies like Samsung and HTC that have huge potential in the European and American markets, very fortunate.

But it's not like no one has other opinions. Suzuki Kunimasa thought, that only shows that Motorola does not have such capabilities.

As if he had guessed what he was thinking, Feng Yiping immediately said, "Is it because they don't have such capabilities? No, we saw that Motorola had already filed three lawsuits against Apple at the end of last year."

"These lawsuits involve iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and MacBook Air...that is, all Apple products,"

"In these lawsuits, how many patents did Motorola use in total?" Feng Yiping gestured with his hand, "18 patents, only 18 were used!"

"And how many patents does Motorola have? They have 17,000 patents and 7,500 patent applications pending,"

This is really a number that makes even the proud Kwon Wu-hyun feel very powerless. The background of these established companies is just extraordinary.

But he immediately thought that although the total number of patents we own is far less than that of Motorola, the patents we own must be newer and more suitable for current development.

Feng Yiping's words shattered his self-satisfaction, "Don't think that Motorola's patents are only related to 2G and 3G. Their patent reserves in 4G are also not to be underestimated. On the whole, we can say that they are completely in the leading position in the field of 4G wireless networks,"

"In this regard, we can also give an example. In addition to the lawsuit against Apple, Motorola only used 4 patents to force BlackBerry to reach a cross-licensing settlement agreement with them last year,"

"According to the information we have, BlackBerry therefore needs to pay an unspecified amount of advance payment to Motorola Mobility and pay patent fees,"

"I believe everyone can also think that as the world's earliest mobile phone manufacturer, they must have a lot of standard essential patents. Yes, we have done statistics. In this regard, they have very critical standard essential patents for hanging up or answering calls, wireless transmission, receiving GPS positioning, improving data storage... and so on,"

The main feature of standard essential patents is that no one can bypass it.

This is like a car company that develops wheels from scratch in order to produce cars, and finally develops a wheel that is completely different from the current market, that is, it is not round, nor tracked...

"They also have many other patents related to smartphones. For example, they filed a lawsuit against Microsoft, believing that Microsoft infringed on many of its video technology patents, and hoped that the judge would ban the sale of Xbox video game consoles at once..."

I believe this will definitely give Microsoft enough headaches. As we all know, Xbox game consoles can be said to be the most successful hardware product of Microsoft's empire - no one else.

Now, while everyone feels relieved, they are also a little dignified. That is to say, those companies that launched a siege against Android and hoped to get a lot of patent licensing fees from them are also being sued by Motorola at the same time.

It seems that they are still at a disadvantage.

They immediately thought that if Motorola filed a lawsuit against them, then this life...

And the reason why Motorola did not file a lawsuit is not difficult to guess.

Feng Yiping then said, "The reason why Motorola didn't target us is mainly because they are one of Android's most important authorized partners, but given the current situation," he shook his head and looked embarrassed.

Mr. Wang was a little embarrassed again. Microsoft's lucrative income would naturally make Motorola uneasy.

Because this is likely to be a more profitable approach than Motorola's production of mobile phones.

"It is obvious that they can't keep giving in like this. We know that they are actively preparing to file patent lawsuits against other Android hardware manufacturers, that is, you all,"

"So, why did we acquire Motorola?" He looked at everyone and said what everyone could guess, "It is to eliminate such troubles for everyone,"

Not to mention other people, even Quan Wuxuan felt that their acquisition of Motorola was really for everyone's good.

"Of course, this is what we should do. We all know that Android's success is inseparable from the support of all the companies present, so we certainly have the responsibility to protect and expand the Android ecosystem,"

Expand? Many people noticed this word.

"When relevant companies launch attacks on us with a large number of patents, the best way to defend is to have a huge patent reserve of our own. The acquisition of Motorola and several other acquisitions currently underway are our efforts to eliminate disturbances for everyone and focus on development,"

"Motorola's patent portfolio will help us make Android more open and more dynamic, because with these patents, we have reached settlement agreements and cross-licensing agreements with other companies,"

"So, everyone, I can tell you here that as long as this merger is successfully completed, in the future, you don't have to worry about patent licensing fees at all,"

Applause broke out.

Kwon Woo-hyun's action was a little late, because he was full of worries. In this way, the situation facing our new system would be even more difficult!

It is not difficult to imagine that after the new system is successfully developed in the future, as long as they are willing, they can use patent lawsuits to block the future of Tizen.

But he immediately followed the applause. In this case, of course, it is not good to show that he does not welcome Android to do so.

So, should we immediately suggest to the chairman that we also bid for Motorola?

He quickly recalled what happened in Munich, and immediately thought, maybe, I shouldn't make such a suggestion right away, if I do, it is very likely that the president will give this task to him...

He glanced at Feng Yiping who was smiling and nodding at this time, and immediately confirmed his thoughts, yes, I can't make this suggestion.

Why give yourself the opportunity to fail?
