In January of this year, the legal dispute between Apple and Qualcomm officially kicked off, mainly around the patent technology held by Qualcomm. It alleges that Qualcomm has charged an excessively high patent for the chip and refused to return the $1 billion in royalties that it promised to return. Apple believes that this method of collecting patent fees is extremely unfair, and Qualcomm uses patent influence to illegally help its chip department. Since then, the situation has escalated rapidly. Apple has filed a lawsuit against Qualcomm worldwide and officially announced in April that it refused to pay tens of billions of license fees to Qualcomm.
It is not uncommon for the giants in the smart phone industry to file large-scale lawsuits against the giants. Technology giants such as Apple, Samsung, Nokia, HTC, Microsoft, Google and Sony have filed patent litigation around smartphone technology and are plaintiffs or defendants in litigation. Over the past few years, Apple and its suppliers and competitors have been caught in patent disputes in more than a dozen countries around the world. In 2012, Apple and Samsung launched a patent battle on the characteristics of the design and won the lawsuit. In 2015, Apple and Ericsson also launched a lawsuit, and the two sides later reached a settlement.
Apple's most representative case of using patent litigation to compete with rivals includes its lawsuit with HTC. HTC, once the leader of the Android camp, was courted in the second half of 2011 by Apple for patent infringement and then imposed an import ban by the United States. Directly leading to its deteriorating market in Europe and the United States, the stock price has also plunged all the way, from the peak of April 2011 all the way down 90%, and finally squeezed out the top ten mobile phone brands.
However, unlike the above-mentioned litigations, regardless of whether Qualcomm’s lawsuits are successful or not, Apple’s products must meet Qualcomm’s patented technology in order to meet their industry standards, because Qualcomm’s patents cover the technical standards widely used in the industry. Patented technology included in the document. This is why Qualcomm executive vice president and general counsel Tang. In a response, Rosenberger said angrily, "After 10 years of historic development, Apple launched an attack on Qualcomm and refused to recognize the value of these technologies' widespread recognition and sustainability." He said, "If not relying on Qualcomm With core cellular communication technology, it is impossible for Apple to create such a successful iPhone series of mobile phones, and it is unlikely that it will become the most profitable company in the world and get more than 90% of the profits of the entire smartphone industry."
In short, it is Qualcomm's patents and innovations that enable Apple to sell more powerful and attractive products. Since its inception in 1985, Qualcomm has invested more than $44 billion in research and development and has 130,000 patents. Qualcomm invests 20% of its revenue every year in research and development. In 2016, Qualcomm's chip research and development investment was about 3.7 billion US dollars, and research and development expenses accounted for 23.1% of sales. For Qualcomm, when Apple was in patent litigation with Samsung, it used its three mobile phones to interact with patents: pinch-to-zoom, tap-to-zoom, and bounce- Back), Samsung is charged a patent fee of $7.14 per mobile phone. It is even more unbearable to treat Qualcomm’s thousands of basic basic patent technologies for the basic call and connection functions of the iPhone as dispensable and “not worth the moneyâ€.
As Daniel Newman, chief analyst at Futurum, recently pointed out: "If companies can unilaterally determine the value of a contract, the value of innovative technology, the value of research and development, and the price paid for it, then what should be used? Inspiring those emerging, motivated companies to invest heavily in R&D?†Above Apple and Qualcomm’s lawsuit, this is the real meaning of the controversy, which is why it is so important to discuss this controversy rationally.
In fact, companies that spend billions of dollars on innovation and intellectual property rights should have the right to protect their investments. Apple has repeatedly stated that for a number of legitimate reasons, they need to strictly protect their intellectual property rights. This philosophy applies to all companies, not just Apple. Steve Jobs himself mentioned this when HTC tried to use Apple's intellectual property for free, and Apple now seems to be trying to use Qualcomm's intellectual property for free.
At that time, Jobs said: "We either sit back and watch competitors steal the patent invention we obtained, or do something. We decided to take action against it. We believe that competition is beneficial, but competitors should develop their own original Technology, not stealing us."
The words of Jobs and the truth behind it are now equally loud. Without the intellectual property rights of Qualcomm, the iPhone simply can't run as it is now, at best it's an MP3, no matter how many unique features it has.
Keep your eyes longer: If the giants can easily make a competitor's intellectual property worthless, what will the world be like?
Waterproof Vertical Mount D-Sub Connectors
waterproof D-sub system is IP67 rated. These panel-mount connectors are available in solder cup as well as right angle and vertical PCB mount types. The cable-mount connector kit includes the connector, which has solder cup contacts. These connectors are available in 9-, 15-, and 25-positions in standard density and 15-, 26-, and 44-positions in high density. The recommended wire gauge for the solder cup connector is 22 AWG to 26 AWG.
These panel-mount waterproof D-subs are designed for rear-mount applications in panels that are up to 2.0 mm thick. They come with two sets of jackscrews. One jackscrew set is 5 mm long for panel thickness up to 1.2 mm, and the other is 6 mm long for panel thicknesses from 1.2 mm to 2.0 mm.
Cable mount D-sub connector kits come with the backshell, seal, thumbscrews, and solder cup connector. They are also easy to install. Simply fit the cable through the backshell, terminate the wire to the solder cup contacts, and hand tighten the cable nut on the rear of the backshell. The backshell will seal a particular range of cable diameters depending on the position count of the connector. Consult the datasheet for specific cable diameter ranges.
