A few days ago, the Chongqing First Intermediate People's Court made a first instance judgment on the case of OPPO v. Nokia standard essential patent royalty dispute, and the judgment confirmed the global fair, reasonable and non discriminatory (FRAND) rate of Nokia 2G-5G standard essential patent: for 5G multi-mode mobile phones, the single license fee in the first zone of the world is $1.151, and the single license fee in the second zone (Chinese Mainland) and third zone is $0.707. For 4G multimode phones, the single license fee in the first zone is $0.777, and the single license fee in the second and third zones is $0.477.
It is reported that the judgment has determined for the first time that the cumulative rate of 5G standards in the mobile phone industry is 4.341% -5.273%. According to this ruling, without considering the proportion of multimodal models, the upper limit of the 5G patent fee for a pure 5G phone priced at $200 is $10.55.
OPPO Chief Intellectual Property Officer Feng Ying stated: OPPO is willing to comply with and enforce the global FRAND licensing fee for Nokia patents determined by court rulings, and hopes to actively resolve the patent licensing fee dispute with Nokia. OPPO hopes that Nokia can comply with and enforce the global fee ruling of Chongqing Court. OPPO respects intellectual property rights and advocates reasonable fees, advocates the establishment of a long-term healthy intellectual property ecosystem, and advocates for friendly negotiations to resolve the issue between licensors and licensees "Intellectual property disputes, mutual respect for patent value."
