banned the word, a bit heavy.
It is more embarrassing than the sale, or because they were eliminated by his plan to go to market iterative upgrade is not the cause of the lock-up means to get into the thing. Recent worldwide automotive sector and the ban has many related topics, such as more and more countries in the development and launch its own fuel car ban plan. It was also because of the litigation, with the risk of lock-up, the protagonist is Daimler.
causes: Nokia quot; Pengci quot ;?
In fact, public reports on Daimler may have to be banned in Germany as early as late August had led to a small network the scope of the discussion. Let Daimler companies to participate in this topic, you and I know, Nokia Nokia. Although Nokia’s mobile phone business has already bottomed out and now all the way down to, although this time has been 10 years, but it still retains the thousands of wireless communications patents, and by virtue of these patents earn money. Judge region in Mannheim, Germany August 18, said Daimler infringes Nokia’s mobile technology patents (Nokia said the court confirmed that the company awarded the cellular standards essential patents (standard-essential patents, SEP) has taken a license rational action, while Daimler unauthorized use of Nokia technology), the decision may even prohibit Daimler’s car-related vehicle sales in Germany, which includes among Mercedes – Benz.
Then, not surprisingly, Daimler expected to maintain a strong reaction:
Daimler said in an emailed statement: quot; We can not understand Mannheim court’s decision will be appealed. quot;
behind this, Nokia has sued Daimler in three German court involving mobile technology patent portfolio. Mannheim court in February this year had dismissed a similar lawsuit Nokia, but retained the two other lawsuits in order to give a ruling.
in Munich and Dusseldorf Nokia also filed a lawsuit, there are eight similar lawsuit, also filed a lawsuit Daimler another court, seeking to declare NokiaAsia’s patent is invalid.
With the recent announcement of the results, the current situation is quite unfavorable for Daimler. In August, the German Mannheim court sentenced Daimler lost, if Nokia Yakin turned over 7 billion euros of bonds, have the right to allow Daimler to stop selling cars in Germany, fortunately 7 billion euros instead of the number of small pen, so Daimler temporarily safe, but also filed a counterclaim.
However, in September, Nokia ally Sharp gave Daimler blow. September 10, Munich, Germany, the court ruled that the prosecution case Daimler Sharp of patent infringement in favor, Sharp also won the Daimler car sales ban in Germany’s ban, but the margin as long as 5.5 million euros, it said once Sharp really wanted to come, Daimler is very bad.
if Daimler were to be banned in Germany, what happens?
we first find out the underlying logic of this matter, others say it is on the network Nokia quot; quot ;, actual Pengci children on is not the case, at least not say that level comparable Pengci children. Avanci LLC, which is a platform for communication in the field of patents, they charge per vehicle corresponding royalties to car prices, for example, patent relates to networked automobile division three levels – emergency calls, 3G and 4G.
And now you know, more and more popular automotive networking, as well as the next to come 5G, according to the latest news and now we get, Avanci LLC platform is to 5G patent pricing, apparently, Daimler We do not want to see costs continue to rise.
If the final verdict came, Daimler was really banned in Germany, at least for the moment is no other way, the solution is to pay more money. Because of the unique nature of the field of communications, it is not able to say for a car company can easily bypass the bypass, for example, other car manufacturers Volkswagen and BMW, select the relevant licensing model is Nokia’s acceptance.
If is banned in Germany, at least for the moment, in addition to Daimler pay no other way, on the one hand, technology which is substantially not cross, on the other hand, it is banned in the base camp, sales just been hit hard, quot reputations; Cars inventors quot; also can not bear.
writeAt the end:
now, 5.5 million euros compared to the previous figure of seven billion euros Nokia digital, can already see a lot of trends. Realize the difficulty becomes lower, the auto companies face such patents moment also not particularly good solution. Daimler solution is a high probability and Avanci LLC agreement.
Furthermore, with the rapid development of intelligent vehicles and continue to expand in the future 5G, the situation could become more and more car firms quot; heart disease quot ;.
