高通在华业务风生水起：已与200多家公司达成许可协议 - 高通,专利,vivo,魅族 - IT资讯

随着最近高通先后与全球增长最快的两家智能手机场厂商——Oppo和Vivo达成专利授权协议，该公司在中国市场持续经历了繁忙的一年。截至目前，高通已与超过200家中国公司达成了专利许可授权协议。

2015年，高通公司因在华涉嫌市场垄断，遭到中国反垄断机构调查并被开出近10亿美元罚单。从那时起，高通便开始大规模与中国的OEM厂商就专利许可展开谈判，并相继达成协议。近日，高通与维沃移动通信有限公司（vivo）宣布，双方达成了新的3G和4G中国专利许可协议。而在上周，高通曾与Oppo达成了类似协议。

尽管Oppo和Vivo不像苹果、三星出名，但对于高通而言，与Oppo和Vivo达成的专利许可协议意义非凡。据IDC提供的数据显示，在今年第二季度，Oppo智能手机出货量为2260万部，在全球智能手机出货量份额占比为6.6%，排在第四位；而Vivo则以1640万部排在第五位，其市场份额为4.8%。且该季度Oppo智能机出货量较去年同期增长136%，而Vivo智能机出货量同比增长了80%。

自去年12月份以来，高通在中国市场与6家以上手机厂商达成了专利许可协议，包括最近与海信、宇龙、联想等公司也达成了专利授权协议。高通声称，目前已与200多家中国公司达成专利许可授权协议。这一数字并不仅包括OEM厂商。 当然，并非所有中国手机厂商都与高通达成专利授权协议，比如魅族。对此，高通开始诉诸法律。魅族因长期侵权和“欠费”，在经过一年多谈判无果后，最终被高通提起专利诉讼。

Oppo和Vivo加入到高通专利许可联盟，对于稳固该联盟具有重要意义。Oppo和Vivo面向中国及其他新兴市场提供售价低于250美元的智能手机，尽管新兴市场用户缺乏品牌忠诚度，但他们对产品价格敏感，因而这些地区的用户依旧帮助Oppo和Vivo跻身全球智能手机厂商排行前五。 Oppo和Vivo的成功并不局限于新兴市场。在美国市场，两家公司正在挑战苹果、三星的主导地位；与此同时，在中国市场上Oppo和Vivo向其他智能机厂商发起了挑战。

2016年第二季度高通业绩超出分析师预期，其中的一个关键因素是该公司在中国业务全面复苏。财报显示，高通第二季度净利润为14.4亿美元，比上年增长22%，在该季度60亿美元营收当中，超过一半来自中国业务。
