Although there are some discords and even conflicts of interest between Nokia and Changtian Technology.
But this does not hinder the cooperation between the two.
Ollila also knows very well that when Nokia Symbian mobile phone sales were most difficult, it was because of Changtian Technology's high-performance lithium batteries that Nokia was able to stand out and become the king of mobile phones.
Therefore, regarding the 3G technology developed by Changtian Technology, Ollila feels that we should communicate with Changtian Technology first to see the situation before making next steps.
In addition, Nokia's communications technology department has also taken urgent action.
They repeatedly studied Warwick's bidding documents and found connections to communicate with Deutsche Telekom to see if they could get specific information on Warwick's technical disclosure and clarify how Warwick used it to reduce the construction cost to 70% of everyone's. Even sixty percent.
This time it was Simpson who took action again, preparing to go to Jiangzhou for an interview with Changtian Technology.
Nokia is still one of the best communications companies in the world, so they still have their own thoughts on approaching Changtian Technology directly.
But other companies are different.
Ericsson!
In the 2G communications era, Ericsson would never take Warwick seriously.
Because in terms of patented technology, European and American communication companies have almost a monopoly on 2G technology.
Almost all the 2G technology that Warwick can use is purchased from communication companies in Europe and the United States at a huge cost.
In the 3G era, European and American communication companies also have absolute advantages.
According to the current patent distribution of 3G communications, Ericsson owns about 30% of all 3G technologies, second only to Nokia.
The world is beginning to popularize 3G technology, and it is also a time when communication companies in Europe and the United States are cutting leeks.
After long and arduous negotiations, Ericsson finally won an order from Malay. They were about to sign the contract, but they didn't expect to be cut off by Warwick.
How could Ericsson not be angry?
Ericsson's legal department immediately took action to find out whether Warwick used Ericsson's related technology in the bidding.
If used without the consent of Ericsson, it is an infringement!
Ericsson is full of confidence, because Ericsson currently owns about 30% of 3G intellectual property rights, and he does not believe that Warwick has not infringed.
Ericsson's legal department is indeed quite powerful. It quickly found more than a dozen infringing patents from Warwick's bidding documents.
Ericsson immediately compiled the relevant information into letters and sent them to Warwick and Changtian Technology, the company behind Warwick.
And made three demands on Warwick.
The first point is to give up the Malay contract.
The second point is to pay Eric’s infringement fee of 300 million US dollars.
The third point is public apology.
If Warwick and Changtian Technology behind it do not meet the above requirements, then Ericsson will resort to legal proceedings. At that time, the amount of patent fees paid by Warwick will be more than 300 million US dollars.
Ericsson does not plan to go it alone yet, and has already discussed with communications companies such as Qualcomm, Alcatel, and even Siemens and Samsung, hoping to jointly seek huge compensation from Warwick.
These companies all agree that 3G communications is a game played by Americans and Europeans.
No matter how much competition there is between the two parties, it is an internal competition and a matter of one’s own family.
But suddenly a technology company from Xia Kingdom comes in, and that just doesn’t work!
After Ericsson's official letter was sent out, it received responses from many communication companies.
Among them, Shanxing responded the fastest. It immediately compared its few 3G patents and found traces of Huawei's infringement of intellectual property rights. It was ready to follow Ericsson's footsteps and seek compensation from Warwick.
The reason why Shanxing did this was because he was mentally unbalanced.
As the king of Asian communications companies.
Shanxing has also tried its best to catch up with the pace of Europe and the United States.
Although the 3G technology developed by Shanxing is not much, Shanxing has obtained the license for 3G communication construction through mutual authorization and purchase.
At present, most of the 3G base stations in South Korea are built by Sanxing.
Shanxing's ambitions don't end there. They hope to become Asia's Ericsson or Nokia, and hope to gain access to Asia's 3G market.
Therefore, in Malay and Taiguo, Shanxing had bids and won some small projects.
If the big bid in Malaysia is taken away by Ericsson, then the other party is the big brother, and Sam Sing will have no problem.
But this big order was taken away by Warwick, so that’s not okay and we have to pay for it!
In fact, 3G technology is a bit confusing to talk about.
If you think of building 3G network technology as producing a pen.
Then its patented technology includes the appearance of the pen, shell material, ink-absorbing material, pen tip, etc.
The real technical part is the tip of the pen.
Many companies spend a lot of time and money on writing, but the progress of scientific research is quite slow.
The few 3G technologies that Shanxing currently has are actually on the pen body.
Ericsson owns all the 3G intellectual property technologies that have been announced so far, most of which are also on the pen body, and the number of pen heads involved is not very large.
The large number of patented technologies declared by Changtian Technology are all high-end fields of 3G communications that European and American communication companies have never touched, such as Rake receiving technology, channel encoding and decoding technology, power control technology, smart antennas, etc.
But when you produce a pen, you cannot only produce the nib, but also the pen body.
Well, once you produce the pen body, you have violated the law!
Therefore, the rules are set by the West.
Moreover, when the rule makers formulate the rules, their original intention is not to build a fair and just market competition environment, but for their own interests.
If the initial research and development country of 3G technology is not Europe but China, the rules for related patented technologies may be changed again.
Warwick is also considered a mature communications company. It immediately initiated legal procedures and reported to Changtian Technology.
Chen Xiao was discussing the design of 3G mobile phones with Zhang Chi when she received a call from Ren Fei.
At the same time, Song Yi also handed over the official letter sent by Ericsson to Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao looked at the letter and said to Ren Fei: "I have also received the relevant letter here. I will reply to you after studying it."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Xiao handed the letter to Wang Xiang and Song Yi and said, "What do you think?"
Wang Xiang said with a smile: "I can't sit still anymore."
"Has the patent been issued?" Chen Xiao asked.
Wang Xiang nodded and said: "All of them have been released in China, and some have been released in the United States and Europe, but many of them are under review."
In fact, as long as the patent is submitted for review, there will be no problem in terms of time logic.
Chen Xiao said: "That's fine. Leave the construction matter to Warwick, but since it involves technology patents, this is our matter at Changtian Technology. Let's take a look at the situation first and then negotiate."
Chen Xiao said with a smile: "Everyone plays their cards right, so that we can compete in strength."
