Qualcomm and Meizu Sign 3G/4G Global Patent Licensing Agreement
On December 30th, 2016, Qualcomm Incorporated and Zhuhai Meizu Technology Co., Ltd. declared that they have reached a patent licensing agreement based on equal negotiations. Under the agreement, Qualcomm will grant Meizu a paid license to use the patents necessary for developing, manufacturing and selling CDMA 2000, WCDMA and 4G LTE terminals (including the “tri-mode” -- GSM, TD-SCDMA and LTE-TDD) around the world.
Meizu’s China patent royalty liability will be consistent with the terms of the remedial measures that Qualcomm submitted to the P.R.C. National Development and Reform Commission. This agreement comprehensively settled all patent disputes between Qualcomm and Meizu in China, Germany, France and the United States. Qualcomm and Meizu have agreed to take appropriate steps to terminate or withdraw the relevant patent infringement lawsuits, patent invalidation petitions and related lawsuits.
