Vol 6 Chapter 828: Patent dilemma

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Feng Yiping strolled into Mayer's office, "How was the conversation?"

Seeing the undisguised anger on Mayer’s face when he raised his head at the desk, he hurriedly smiled, "Don’t blame Mary, I told her not to report. You know, in this park, there is no office I can’t enter. "

To be honest, looking at Meyer's appearance, he also had some opinions.

I think back then, Lao Tzu’s team...Oh, when Lao Tzu hadn’t done anything to you, you always wanted me to go to your office. Now when I go to your office, you are not only unwelcome, but also give me a look ?

Sure enough, it was only women and the villain who were struggling to raise them, and the ancients did not deceive me.

What is right now is right, the unobtained will always be in a commotion, and the favored will always be confident.

After having a son, it is different!

Looking back at the present, Feng Yiping has a sense of Hedong for thirty years and Hexi for thirty years.

"Are you still busy? Then I'll go right away. I'll come here mainly to tell you one thing. Tonight, I thought of Woodside taking Matthew on horseback."

This news, he originally envisaged to speak out with great momentum.

Because, this means that he will be with Matthew and her grandly tonight, which also means that he has successfully solved the cold violence of Huang Jingping and Ma Ling, and he has also responded forcefully to Mayer. He ridiculed his "dare" words on the yacht.

But at this time, when I said it in this way, not only was there no aura, but also a little faintly imploring, which made Feng Yiping feel a little uncomfortable.

This is not right, why should I fall into this position?

The masters have to be harder, so he immediately added, "Ah, I want to eat grilled spare ribs at night, and I will have Erguotou, you are ready,"

Do you have Erguotou at home? I just want to embarrass you.

Mayer threw a word out stiffly, "I love pasta or not,"

I'm the richest man in anyway. I haven't had dinner with you for such a long time, so you fooled me with pasta?

Would you like to pack a few hamburgers downstairs?

"Huh," he said proudly, "at least it must be a steak!"

"Otherwise, I'll take Matthew to Los Angeles to find a new aunt for him, who will make good food,"

"Hahaha," Meyer couldn't help laughing. "So, you will do this, right?"

Feng Yiping's face blushed, dare you to know how I made them both? Dare you three have a secret connection behind your back?

This really hurts self-esteem.

He strode around and left, I really went to Los Angeles, go now!

"Okay, okay," Meyer stopped smiling, "Don't go, I just happen to have something to discuss with you,"

Feng Yiping still maintains the momentum of longing to go, oh, if you tell me not to go, I will not go, I don't want face!

"Okay," Mayer rushed over and took his hand. "Don't be angry, okay?"

Feng Yiping didn't speak with a face, there was nothing so cheap.

"How about this?" Mayer kissed him on the cheek.

Still not enough.

Feng Yiping turned the other face away.

Meyer simply gave him a kiss on the cheek, held his face in both hands, and took a bite on his mouth, "Okay!"

Feng Yiping, who felt that he had mastered the initiative, gestured downward...The initiative changed hands instantly, and Meyer, whose hands were just resting on his shoulders, immediately lifted a foot.

In this posture, a knee kick is really very positive!

Looking at the light in her eyes, Feng Yiping believed that she could do this absolutely.

Sure enough, it was the tail needle of the wasp, the most poisonous woman's heart, Jiang Tai Gongcheng did not deceive me.

He hurriedly stepped back, retreated to the sofa and sat down, "What's the matter?"

Meyer also put away the humorous expression he had just given, tucked his hair up, and sat down opposite Feng Yiping, "Our meeting with Minister of Energy Steven Zhu was very fruitful."

Although it is determined to obtain low-interest loans from the US government through Tesla, it is obviously not easy for Feng Yiping and Xiao Ouhe to discuss such matters in person.

How can he let the richest man open his mouth for such a low-interest loan of hundreds of millions of dollars?

The specific negotiation is of course handed over to the entourage on both sides.

"The Department of Energy should be able to secure us a loan of around $600 million,"

Feng Yiping, who is not taking advantage of the U.S. government's advantage, immediately felt, "This is not bad! Why are you still..."

Mayer rubbed his forehead, "I'm not annoyed by this,"

She gestured to the office desk, "Go look at those folders,"

Feng Yiping took it over and turned it over, frowning, "I know that the Legal Department is very busy right now, do I need to supplement manpower?"

This thick folder is full of various lawsuits, mainly lawsuits against Android.

Since the fourth quarter of last year, the market share of smartphones in the Android camp has reached 37%, far ahead of Nokia Symbian’s 27%, Apple’s 16%, and Windows Phone’s 3.8%.

Since becoming a champion, such troubles have increased.

Since then, Microsoft, Nokia, Apple, Motorola, Oracle, and even the marginalized BlackBerry have launched lawsuits against the Android camp.

Most of these lawsuits are not against Android, because Android is free and open source, and Android does not directly profit from it. Therefore, in most cases, it has not been the subject of lawsuits, but mobile phone manufacturers in the Android camp have Become a defendant.

Microsoft sued HTC, which has developed very well in the US market, and another leader in the Android camp, Samsung.

Microsoft's lawsuit is not without reason. The Android system is free and open source, but its source code does use a lot of Linux source code.

And Microsoft began to obtain patent fees on Linux systems long before Android was born, and naturally it can also charge patent fees for Android that uses Linux source code.

In order to avoid patent disputes and not be able to enter the US market, in April last year, HTC reached an agreement with Microsoft. They will pay Microsoft $5 for every Android phone they produce—the revenue Microsoft achieved through this agreement. , It has exceeded their income from WindowPhone’s poor market share.

For another Android boss, Microsoft is even more ruthless. They have asked Samsung for a patent license fee of $15 for each Android phone. Samsung is not as urgent as HTC, which focuses on the US and European markets, so they did not give in quickly. Related lawsuits are still ongoing.

Domestic smart phone companies are also facing related problems. Fortunately, domestic mobile phone companies are currently mainly targeting the domestic market. Therefore, Microsoft's lawyer's letter does not cause them trouble at present.

But this is always a hidden worry, they are going to the world after all.

"Microsoft, Microsoft," Feng Yiping closed the folder and sighed.

The purpose of Microsoft's patent lawsuits ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is not only to generate revenue, but also not only to snipe the expansion of Android. They must also hope to use such means to force mobile phone manufacturers to re-select Microsoft smartphone operating systems. , WindowsPhone.

But at present, Android phones and Apple's iPhone have almost become synonymous with smartphones. Both mobile phone manufacturers and consumers do not recognize Windows Phone for the time being.

More importantly, if a mobile phone manufacturer develops Android and Windows Phone at the same time, its R&D costs, market expansion and maintenance costs will definitely increase substantially.

On average, if a mobile phone manufacturer uses two mobile phone operating systems at the same time, the R&D team needs two, which generally increases R&D costs and marketing costs by nearly 30%.

The biggest problem is that the sales of smartphones by a mobile phone manufacturer will not increase substantially because of the use of two mobile phone operating systems.

So Microsoft's hand is really powerful.

Not only Microsoft, but Apple also did not miss such an opportunity.

Apple has filed a lawsuit in the US court, claiming that HTC’s mobile phones have two rights infringing their patent rights, and proposed that the US court prohibit HTC’s sales in the US market.

And blackberry...

At the same time, Oracle's Ellison also came to join in the fun, because the source code of Android also uses the source code of Java, and Java belongs to the Sun company, and Sun was acquired by them last year.

So Oracle has appealed to the court, accusing Android of infringing on the company's Java programming language patents, which caused them billions of dollars in losses. Oracle asked Android to compensate them for their losses of US$1.4 billion to US$6.1 billion...

"This is all eyeing us,"
