Huawei finally revealed on March 16 that it will charge up to $2.5 in royalties per phone for its 5G patents, a price lower than its competitors although the company has 3,147 declared 5G patent families, the highest in the world.
Huawei’s rivals have much higher royalty charges for the 5G patents they own. For example, Qualcomm made its announcement in 2018 that it will charge over $13 in royalties per phone for its 5G patents. Nokia and Ericsson also announced in 2018 that they will charge about $3.5 and $2.50 to $5 respectively for every phone that uses their 5G patents.
