Huawei starts charging Apple for 5G

Well you are using it

Huawei will begin charging mobile giants like Apple a "reasonable" fee for access to its trove of wireless 5G patents, potentially creating a lucrative revenue source by showcasing its global lead in next-generation networking.

While Huawei is being beaten up by US embargos, restricting technology to China, the Land of the Fee seems happy to cash in on Huawei’s 5G patents. After all, every one knows that China is dependent on US tech and not the other way around.

The owner of the world's largest portfolio of 5G patents will negotiate rates and potential cross-licensing with the iPhone maker and Samsung Electronics, Chief Legal Officer Song Liuping said.

It aims to get paid despite US efforts to block its network gear and shut it out of the supply chain but promised to charge lower rates than rivals like Qualcomm, Ericsson AB and Nokia Oyj.

Huawei should rake in about $1.2 billion to $1.3 billion in patent and licensing fees between 2019 and 2021, executives said without specifying which of those stemmed from 5G.
