Huawei shreds Samsung to do a beautiful job on the "Made in China" influence geometry?

The reason why the heart of the stone has started this naked "self-drying five hairs" (hand tearing Samsung to do a good job in China needs more Huawei!), because when I wrote this article, I was very excited and excited about the innovation and excitement of Chinese companies. Innovative strategy in China, excited about the dragon is about to take off!

Recently, Huawei filed intellectual property lawsuits against Samsung in the US and China. In the lawsuit, Huawei asked Samsung to compensate Huawei for its intellectual property infringement, including high-value patents for communications technology and software used by Samsung phones.

Huawei’s lawsuit against Samsung has sparked widespread debate. There are many media from the perspective of whether they can win the case, and some from the perspective of how Samsung counterclaims, and conspiracy theorists think that China is doing this for speculation. This article does not want to continue to discuss these topics, but to analyze the impact of Huawei's suing Samsung on the "Made in China" international image, the demonstration significance for Chinese companies, and the impact of China's entry into the global innovation national goals.

Take off the hat of "Made in china equals the cottage"

Made in China has always been synonymous with "cottage" in the eyes of foreigners. Once in Huaqiang North, Shenzhen, China, it is a distribution center for electronic products and mobile phones in the mountains. A large number of Nokia, Apple, and Samsung mobile phones are manufactured there, and then sold to all parts of the country.

In Wenzhou, it is the base of leather, shoes and clothing products. A large number of famous bags and shoes of LV, GUUCI and BURBERRY are produced there, and then sent to the whole country. In the e-commerce website, the third- and fourth-tier market stores, a large number of fake Nike, Adidas, Yamamoto brand shoes, hats, clothing crazy sales.

At one time, a large number of outstanding Hollywood movies, European and American pop music, Windows systems, office software, and design software were also pirated in China. The piracy rate of Windows in China was as high as 90%.

However, as China's economy declines and labor costs increase, labor-intensive manufacturing is difficult to control costs, and a large number of manufacturing industries have moved to Southeast Asia and India. Moreover, as the income of Chinese residents increases, it is increasingly difficult for the “cottage” goods to obtain the market. The Japanese original, German original, and American imports are more worthy of Chinese trust, which is very sad. To this end, China's homeopathic strategy has also been put forward to innovate and strengthen the country, and to launch an ambitious plan to eliminate backward production capacity and upgrade the manufacturing industry.

In addition, in the past 30 years, due to China's demographic dividend, Made in china has brought many high quality and low price products to the world, but Made in china is still associated with low-end, low quality and low price abroad. Our people are sweating and polluting the environment, but they are synonymous with “cottage”, untrustworthy quality, and low cost of foundry.

Moreover, Chinese manufacturing companies have repeatedly been the defendants of intellectual property cases, and the field of technology manufacturing is even worse. At the CES show in Las Vegas, USA in January 2016, at least 20 companies in China were blocked and the products were confiscated. These companies are all accused of infringing patents on technology and appearance of foreign companies.

It is not the first time that Chinese companies have been seized at CES. A similar situation will occur in almost every year at CES. China's shortcomings in technological innovation can be seen, and this makes the image of Chinese enterprises' "cottage" even more notorious.

Now Huawei has sued South Korea's Samsung in the United States and China, which has enabled the international community to see the rise of China's innovation power and help China to make the hat of "cottage." Huawei sued Samsung to let South Korean media and people exclaimed that "Made in China is no longer synonymous with 'cottage' and 'low quality', but it is also innovative, and has both cost performance and strong market competitiveness."

According to public information, in 2015, the United States submitted about 57,400 applications, and Japan and China ranked second and third respectively with about 44,200 and about 29,800. According to the World Intellectual Property Organization, the countries with the fastest growth in patent applications last year were China, South Korea and Israel, which increased by 16.8%, 11.5% and 7.4% respectively.

In terms of corporate patent application rankings, Huawei ranked No. 3,389 for the second consecutive year. Qualcomm and China's ZTE and Samsung respectively ranked 2,442, 2,155 and 1,683.

Huawei has declared 1,103 basic patents to ETSI in the LTE/EPC field, accounting for 14% (1103/7659) in the global field, ranking first in the world.

As of 2015, Huawei's consumer business (mobile phones and other terminal equipment) has applied for more than 9,000 patents worldwide, including more than 2,000 domestic patents and more than 1,100 foreign patents in Europe and the United States.

In addition to suing Samsung, Huawei and Apple reached a patent cross-licensing and charged Apple a certain percentage of patent fees. According to the data, in 2015, Huawei licensed 769 patents to Apple, and Apple licensed 98 patents to Huawei. This means that Apple needs to pay patent fees to Huawei. Huawei and Apple's license agreements cover wireless communication technologies such as GSM, UMTS, and LTE.

Huawei and ZTE are among the top companies in the global patent application, which reflects China's innovative strength. Huawei’s lawsuit against Samsung and the patent cross-licensing with Apple can effectively change the image of Made in China’s “cottage” in the international community.
