Google use bikes patent down apple: want to charge 2% patent fees

According to "fortune" magazine reported online edition, in reference to the look and feel of the iPhone based on the Android platform development, Google's not satisfied, today, the company by buying more trying to the MOTOROLA mobile patents, request every sales a apple iPhone will pay the highest 2.25% of patent fees.
Google to the national electrical and electronic engineers association ((IEEE, for the AC/DC converter to Wi-Fi network, the technical standards set the non-profit organization) letters after exposure, caused uproar.
Apple, Microsoft had called for the enterprise, IEEE members submitted in patent technology as an industry standard application should be adhering to the "fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory" (FRAND requirement of the license terms.
FOSS Patents of Florida Ann muller (Florian Mueller) to study the content of the application documents, found that the content of the document the third paragraph in the fundamental key changes. This section shows that Google was the requirement of "irrevocable", Google through the purchase of MOTOROLA and its 17000 patents, MOTOROLA will require apple each sales a smart cellphone iPhone pay 2.25% of the patent fees.
To this, apple to a European court appeal, says MOTOROLA requirement is unreasonable or unfair, and completely discriminatory.
John Stuart mill to the point agrees: "product sales price of 2.25% for patent fees a complete departure from the concept of member IEEE FRAND terms, also do not conform to the industry practices".
In the industry insiders opinion, 2.25% of rate seems to not high, but if from the following Angle consideration, there will be another sort of ideas: the European telecommunications standards institute storage database, with a standard 4956, involving 175 of companies of 117964 patents. If rivals each design a compatible devices will have to pay 2.25% patent fees of words, the development of the industry will be stalled.
If Steve Jobs (Steve Jobs) still here, that faced with Google latest provocation, if you can imagine how he will evaluation: Google stole from apple patent technology, so as to build up the first Android framework, but apple did not apply for the technology to become the industry standard. If you want to create a and the core of the intellectual property patent equivalent, at least dates back to the pager era, at that time, MOTOROLA to all in the industry provides fair use, sharing opportunities. Google now behavior, has become a "brazen" pronoun.
The pan more daily, Grenoble plug (MG Siegler) points out, in Google acquisition MOTOROLA plans before exposure, Google's chief legal counsel David d be DE (David Drummond) have been at the blog published an article titled "when Android is a patented against war object" article, he does not support for each device patent fees charged the behavior: a smart cellphones involved about 250000 patents, our competitors trying to raise taxes the way the cost of Android devices, thus weakening the competitiveness of the Android manufacturers. In the face of the challenge, the Android manufacturers not through establishing new features or introducing new equipment to improve the competitiveness of the way, but the action of the means to fight back.

Domestic handset close distance with the brand

In recent years the Android system money making businesses rise and dependent on consistent low price strategy, brand domestically in domestic market share fresh record highs.
According to analysys EnfoDesk think-tank statistics released yesterday, by the end of 2011, the domestic market share to 37.5% overall brand, is gradually narrowing the gap with the brand, especially the traditional four brand nokia (the Po), samsung (the Po), LG and MOTOROLA (the Po). It is reported, this four foreign cellphone brand in the domestic market share of 41.5% for the overall. In year 2011 mobile phone market, sales of the top brand, domestic brand occupies six seats, including the association (the Po), huawei, zte, and JinLi, cool, OPPO.
Domestic handset narrow the gap between the brand and the main reason is that low price strategy. Analysys international (the Po) analysts said Gordon white, last year the ascension of the whole cell phone sales rely on intelligent terminal product pull, from product line layout look, international brand positioning on high-end price, instead, homebred brand product positioning ZhongDiDuan price, and this part of the market potential is tremendous. Note that in the list six homebred brand, in addition to the operators and OPPO are established depth cooperation relations, the operators in boosting the number of users of 3 G ascend, through the custom star type of sales of custom machine for consumers a more clear cognition, and adjust the more generous custom network fees package, attracting more consumers choose to buy a custom machine.
In addition, "Android system, the emergence of the trend of the homogeneity allows the obvious, domestic handset with the international brand of mobile phone differentiation reduced". Gordon white said. In the smart cellphone era, benefit from the popular and open Android system, homebred brand rolled out the most of the Android platform smart phones, for it in the fight for market share up Jordan farmar. Mobile phone giant nokia former market share from 29.3% at the beginning of last year is down to 14.5%, although still occupy the top overall market sales, but the situation is difficult to maintain a long, long time.
In fact as early as in 2003, homebred brand had occupied domestic mobile phone market half of jiangshan, at that time in the top five rankings market mobile phone production enterprise have three home is homebred brand. But by 2006, and dramatic change, domestic handset's share has dropped to 29.4%, and the scenery of the three years ago has dissolved.
And for the current market situation, the personage inside course of study thinks, smart phones as personal computers before early, there will be a lot of variables. Because of this, also makes some domestic manufacturers confidence began to boom. Not long ago, almost in the mobile market disappeared on domestic electrical home appliances manufacturers haier, changhong etc BaoTuan high-profile latest smartphone. TCL (the Po) group President li (the Po) is leaving out, to be part global mobile phone market before five. Not only that, and dazzle such new mobile phone fly brand also to "made". Intelligence era and let homebred brand saw the broad "QianJing".
However, experts this however don't embrace the optimistic attitude. Fly like nets (the Po) CEO made just a (micro Po) said, domestic smart cellphones lack brand influence, product homogeneity, "hold" is still rampant domestic handset short board. Although the Android platform for relying too much on down the average price of the product, but simple price competition also make profits fell rapidly.
