Millet revived in India: Qualcomm Investment will be the ultimate defense

Tencent Science and Technology Liang December 17 reported Beijing time late Tuesday, Delhi, India's High court temporarily lifted the ban on millet mobile phones, allowing the millet mobile phones can temporarily access the Indian market, but there are a series of prerequisites. But Millet Chairman and CEO Lei (Weibo) has announced on Weibo that this is the best birthday present I have received today. The two-member panel of experts, while conveying the lifting of the ban, announced that its deadline was January 8, 2015 and a hearing would be held. The mobile phone, which is being marketed in the Indian market, has been limited to a microchip produced by Qualcomm, and a large screen red meter note using MediaTek's processor chip is still unavailable. Moreover, as Millet's most important cooperative channel business Flipkart is also one of the enforcement of the ban, which means that the sale of millet will still be affected. Not only that, in a statement issued by the plaintiff in the case, Ericsson also showed that the last prerequisite for millet to be traded is the need to advance the 100 Indian rupee (about 12.69 yuan) to the court for each device it sells. But in Tuesday Millet was directly announced on Weibo, and today the Delhi High Court in India ruled that it would allow Millet handsets to resume sales in India. has not shown its limitations to the public, and has used the verdict of such a conclusive statement. In the Millet India official online, currently provides links to Flipkart products including red M 1S, Millet mobile phone 3, but Millet also gave the red meter note and Red Meter note 4G promotional page and price, but the red meter note did not lift the ban. On the Flipkart Millet topic page, it provides consumers with the product information including red meter 1S, millet mobile phone 3 and red meter note. But red meter 1S show out of stock, and millet mobile phone 3 show to stop production, red meter note is displayed as stop registration. Ericsson made a full war with Ericsson yesterday evening using announcements to express its current attitude. Ericsson said it was confident that the defendants ' full claims would be dismissed at the next hearing scheduled for January 8. Not only that, Ericsson said that Millet needs to import all of India's mobile phones to obtain Ericsson's patent authorization, which will be clarified in the upcoming hearings. Ericsson believes that the patent authorized income is for research and development investment to obtain a reasonable return. 2012, Ericsson reorganization Patent Department, chief intellectual property Officer Kashim Afarah can report to CEO Vestberg directly. One of the most important tasks of the former is to manage the technology and patents of the group. 2013 Italian law Ericsson broke up, Ericsson took over the LTE Multimode ultra-thin modem product line, which indirectly increased its playing a patent war weight. Therefore, in this dispute, there is a patent short plate of millet at the outset at a disadvantage. Ericsson said in its previous statement that in the past three years of communication with millet, the lawsuit has been inevitable to continue. Zhang Wenxue, Chairman of the Kivu Group, who had similar encounters in India, said the most important thing was the attitudeHave a positive posture. Ericsson has a lot of patents, and it can take one or two core patents (to initiate lawsuits). In fact, Samsung, the global smartphone hegemon, agreed to pay 650 million of billions of dollars in early 2014, plus years of royalties, to close a patent-licensing dispute with Ericsson. The final defense of Millet: Qualcomm Investment in Delhi, India, the temporary lifting of the court, the use of Qualcomm chips, millet mobile phone products temporarily resumed sales. Some industry analysts told Tencent technology, the reason Qualcomm is Millet shareholders, and millet has been a number of Qualcomm's patent licensing. Tencent Science and Technology inquiry Qualcomm Investment official website shows that Millet is still its investment projects, the custodian of which is often to attend the new Millet news conference, and for its platform Qualcomm Global vice President, Investment department, general manager of China James. December 20, 2011, Lei has announced the acquisition of 90 million U.S. dollars in financing, in a series of investment institutions in the presence of Qualcomm's name impressively, but did not arouse more attention. In a subsequent reading, James described the investment process as the first business cooperation, followed by investment discussions, and Qualcomm found the development trend of China's smartphone. 2-3 years ago that China would become the world's largest smartphone market, so invest in millet. James said. However, in the current situation, millet clearly more discerning, because the mobile phone market in the patent war, Qualcomm's investment can partially block with Ericsson's offensive.
