Domestic handset manufacturers alliance to the overseas patent war

A few days ago, apple and HTC (the Po) patent wars in the United States patent of the dust settles, the United States international trade commission said it would ban sales in the United States hongda electronic (HTC) apple patent infringement part of the smart cellphone, the ban will take effect in April 2012. Now, smart phones running the patent battlefield, happens in America's war spread to domestic seemed to be something sooner or later, zte, TCL (the Po), yulong cool and konka, the domestic mobile phone manufacturer also mood.according, misunderstanding, consistent foreign, BaoTuan patent litigation to deal with.
In the United States or HTC market faltered
In the U.S. market, because the HTC early Google's Android platform to design smart phones, once in the third quarter 2011 became the largest market smart phone sales. However, ai media consulting CEO that easy, the ruling is to infringe upon the HTC apple's patent, banned the import of the company in the part of the products, will be in the United States may make the HTC market faltered.
Now the smart phones generally focused on Microsoft patent wars (micro Po), apple two big patent croc for Andoird faction. "Microsoft litigation strategy is to money, and apple's litigation strategy is to you die. But two were difficult to deal with." Industry insiders so evaluation. And domestic Android smartphone as high price and fashionable appearance and get the overseas market wide recognition, but it also means that must face the peek of the Microsoft and apple.
The latest data show that in 2011, huawei (the Po) terminal global sales income reached 6.7 billion us dollars, FaHuoLiang breakthrough 150 million sets, which is greatly increased in 2010, including intelligent mobile phone up rapid growth, FaHuoLiang exceeds 20 million sets. However, the huge Numbers but Microsoft drew. In the middle of November, huawei foreign confirmed that the company is working with Microsoft just Android operating system patent license negotiations. Because Android operating system USES part of the Microsoft intellectual property rights, and Android cellphone system is the main type huawei sales. Earlier, Android camp, HTC, samsung has (the Po) pay Microsoft patent fees precedent.
Domestic mobile phone manufacturer hide not open patent wars
"As long as export, patent war is mobile phone manufacturers have to face domestic problems." Shenzhen war policy chief analyst at consulting Yang qun says, now the war strategy to deal with patent generally is "able to me in you, there are you" patent of the cross, that is, although I use to your patent, but you also use to my patent, everybody "square", but the problem is "the manufacturer of the patent technology to their full up, as the number of mobile phone giant, so in some patent fight in a very bad position".
Therefore, manufacturers have BaoTuan only. Although they are waging a fierce price war, however, in the powerful "foreign enemy" before, everyone also had to "consistent foreign". According to information, zte, konka, TCL, cool, Kivu, and LongQi, WenTai, HuaQin and other large mobile vendors, has set up mobile phone China alliance, hope BaoTuan respond to foreign manufacturers of patent war. At present, the coalition is dealing with nokia (the Po) of China frequently litigation disputes.
"In the short term, domestic handset should put more focused on domestic, if the focus on Europe and America, once produce a patent litigation, manufacturer will suffer a big blow, and domestic patent issues in, temporarily won't appear too much influence." Easy think, on the one hand, the domestic patent policy and regulations is still not perfect, can temporarily as a refuge; On the other hand, foreign manufacturers in domestic patent layout is still not fully made steady.
But, in the long run, relies on its own r&d manufacturer accumulation, "the mobile cellphone renewal quite quickly, Microsoft now, apple patent technology, will not necessarily always adapt to the demand of the market."
