Chapter two hundred and forty fifth comprehensive counterattack
"What's going on?" Cook came to his senses, sat down again, and asked Will majesticly. He really didn't understand why a good script has changed the plot now.
Will originally planned to defeat the new Nokia Mobile and then acquire it, but why did he suddenly change direction?
"About this patent used on CPU was integrated into CPU by Arm. In fact, we have been in a lawsuit with NDK. A few days ago, NDK suddenly withdrew the lawsuit. We originally thought that NDK automatically withdrew the lawsuit because of its own financial support. But they did not know that they actually sold the patent to the new Nokia Mobile." Speaking of this matter, Will obviously lost his usual calmness.
"Due to the fact that ndk does not have the huge compensation ability after losing the case, the judge will not support their request to stop selling the product. We can continue to delay time and hope to obtain the authorization of this patent at a less cost. But now that the new Nokia Mobile has obtained this patent, they have filed a request to stop selling our infringing products."
"Since we use an open architecture arm chip, the other party can clearly indicate the fact of our infringement, we will not be able to deal with this new counterclaim according to the original delay strategy. In addition, the new Nokia Mobile also filed a loss claim." Will finally said.
After saying that, sweat had already oozed out of Will's forehead. The reason why he reported the latest progress in this matter was that the sudden counterclaim of New Nokia Mobile was too sharp and was completely aimed at Apple's mainstream products. This patent infringement used on CPU is just one of them. New Nokia Mobile also filed some other patents infringed by Apple.
Although Will did not make it clear, Cook already knew his subtext that the company would now face the threat of a complete ban on the sale of products, so Will was so anxious.
This patent battle was initiated by Will, although everyone basically agreed with his opinion.
But it really reached an uncontrollable point. Will, the initiator, must be the first to throw out the crime goat that the company has to do.
But obviously, after hearing this news, Cook was not much better than Will.
Now that everyone is breaking apart, Cook will never expect the other party to miss this good opportunity. Compared with the new Nokia Mobile, the pressure on Apple to be under is obviously greater when the product ban is banned.
New Nokia Mobile can rely on the mainland Chinese market to survive. However, Apple does not even have such a safe haven. Although it holds a lot of cash and it is not a big problem to support it in terms of funds, but when the product is completely banned from selling, the huge brand effect that has been built with great effort will collapse.
In order to establish the high-end image of the two brands, Apple iPhone and iPad, it took a lot of effort to achieve this level today. Cook cannot bear the huge negative impact of the ban on the product even if the product is banned for one day. It is very difficult to establish a brand, but it is often destroyed overnight.
Cook couldn't continue to bet anymore. The battle was over now, although Cook was extremely reluctant.
"Reconcile." Cook sat back on the chair dejectedly.
Of course, it is not only President Cook that is very depressed. Samsung, Rim, HTC, LG and others have also received more than a dozen new patent infringement lawyer letters from New Nokia Mobile. Although some patents can be discarded but not used, everyone has adopted an arm-architecture CPU like Apple. There is no way to avoid this at this stage.
Moreover, those who use the Andriod system, such as Samsung, HTC, and LG, may face more patent infringement charges. A considerable number of new Nokia mobile patented technologies are used in the Andriod system. Originally, I wanted to follow Apple to get a share of the pie, but now it is a waste of money, so these presidents are absolutely unhappy.
Although Microsoft and Ericsson are not companies that produce mobile phones, they are bound by new Nokia Mobile's newly proposed patents in other aspects.
In the view of industry experts, the new Nokia Mobile launched an extremely sharp patent counterattack.
News of the new Nokia Mobile Jedi, which occupied the headlines of technology news for a time, flooded every corner of the world.
"Boss, so far, we have received faxes from Apple, Samsung, Rim, HTC, LG, Microsoft, Ericsson, Qualcomm and other companies requesting out-of-court settlement." Legal counsel Franco came to the Sal's president's office with a stack of faxes.
After taking the fax from the legal counsel, Cai Siqiang held it with his slightly trembling hands and looked carefully and then. He had been looking forward to this news for a long time. When he finally believed that it was the summoning fax sent by the other party, Cai Siqiang's heart that had been hanging in the air for a long time finally landed like a big rock.
The huge pressure of survival not only forces a man like Zhao Jianwu to fight to the death, but Cai Siqiang's heart is always concerned about the company's life and death. It's just that he is the company's president and needs to maintain a calm image and stabilize the morale of the army. Therefore, during this period, Cai Siqiang insisted on going to and from get off work at normal times, but Cai Siqiang did not suffer from insomnia when he returned home.
Since Du Chengyi proposed this tactical concept of a sharp edge, Cai Siqiang has been in a state of worrying about gains and losses. Fortunately, Du Chengyi finally fulfilled his mission and decisively and fiercely purchased the required patents in the shortest time.
Now Apple, Samsung, Rim, HTC, LG, Qualcomm, etc., are mobile phone chip manufacturers, or mobile phone manufacturers that use arm chips. Anyway, they cannot avoid the patent of the new Nokia Mobile on the arm chips. It is natural for them to choose to surrender. If this battle continues, it may only be a loss for both.
As for Microsoft, Du Chengyi acquired a media playback patent and browser patent, which happened to be a CPU chip with www.jtxsk.com architecture. It is even more impossible to limit his larger-selling products to the threat of banning sales for a little patent licensing fee.
A critical battle of life and death in the new Nokia Mobile was then vanished after a brief close-killing battle on an alternative battlefield. Cook and the others never dreamed that some small companies that were bullied by themselves would actually play a huge role in this huge patent battle.
However, in order to win the war, Duke and the others paid a huge fee of $300 million to win the patent that the arm architecture must use. The acquisition of all the patents was spent more than $2 billion.
There is no doubt that this is an extremely expensive war. Basically, Sal and Mi have done their best and mobilized almost all the cash to complete it. It can be said that after fighting this war, Duke and the others were also seriously injured.
As for interdigital, it is not a direct competitor to the new Nokia Mobile now, so it requires reasonable licensing fees. After paying the $1 patent licensing fee per unit, the new Nokia Mobile reached a settlement with the company to use its 4g patents.
At this point, a patent siege against New Nokia Mobile ended with New Nokia Mobile.
