In recent years, with the continuous promotion of innovation-driven development strategy, intellectual property protection has received more and more attention. Speaking at the main forum of the 2023 China intellectual property Annual meeting held on September 19, Qian Xun, senior vice president of Qualcomm worldwide and general manager of technology licensing business in China, said that driven by 5G+AI, a new round of innovation and intellectual property rights may emerge in large numbers, and a sound intellectual property system is also essential to encourage and protect sustainable innovation. Effectively protecting the rights and interests of innovators will help to fully recognize the value of innovation and help to build an innovation-driven digital economy.

At present, more than 3 million 5G base stations have been built in China, and the 5G network has covered all prefecture-level urban areas and county cities. 5G applications have been widely integrated into 60 major categories of national economy, and the total number of application cases has exceeded 50,000. On the other hand, with the rise of ChatGPT and various domestic AI models, the application of generative AI is creating new demand and forming new supply, which will bring about a new cycle of terminal innovation and development.

Behind the rapid development of digital economy promoted by technologies such as 5G and AI, there are many long-term efforts of basic science and technology R & D enterprises. Qian said that research on fundamental and systematic issues usually begins at least five to 10 years before technology standardization and implementation. The more early the research stage, the greater the investment risk, because it is impossible to determine whether the research results will be recognized by the market in the future, which will lead to income. Similarly, at the standard-setting stage, R & D needs to be invested without any definite return, as not all technical proposals will be adopted by the standard. Finally, with the release of the new generation of standards, after entering the commercial stage, enterprises can seek returns through technology licensing. Therefore, the business model with invention and innovation as the core needs to be well protected by the intellectual property protection system.

According to public information, Qualcomm has conducted long-term and extensive basic research in many technology fields, involving 3G, 4G, 5G, Wi-Fi, multimedia, artificial intelligence, cameras and images, and has created a "unified technology roadmap" to efficiently extend advanced connectivity, low-power high-performance computing and terminal-side AI technologies from smartphones to the next generation of smart Internet connected terminals in different industries. At the same time, after long-term research and development, Qualcomm has also formed a lot of intellectual property rights in 5G, Wi-Fi, multimedia and other fields. For example, Qualcomm has played a key role in almost all major processes in the development of Wi-Fi technology, including breakthrough innovations in areas such as MIMO and MU-MIMO, OFDMA radio waveform design, and wireless mesh networks. In the multimedia field, Qualcomm is a leader in video codec technology and a leading contributor and developer of the new generation video coding standard H.266 / VVC and the previous H.265 / HEVC standard technology. At present, Qualcomm has 140000 authorized patents and patent applications worldwide, forming an industry-leading patent portfolio.

Qian pointed out in his speech that China has done a lot of work and made great achievements in intellectual property protection. Thanks to these measures, China has risen steadily in the WIPO Global Innovation Index, climbing to 11th place in 2022. At the same time, China's remarkable achievements and firm determination in further strengthening intellectual property protection are of great significance in encouraging domestic innovation and attracting foreign investment in China.

In China, Qualcomm has also carried out extensive and in-depth cooperation with Chinese industrial partners to jointly promote the development and commercial landing of technologies such as 5G, AI and the Internet of things. For example, in 2018, Qualcomm and its Chinese partners jointly launched the "5G Pilotage Program" to speed up the development of 5G mobile phones and other terminal products, so as to take the lead in providing 5G products to domestic and foreign users after the launch of commercial use of 5G mobile phones; in 2020, Qualcomm and more than 20 leading Chinese companies jointly launched the "5G Internet of things Innovation Program", which promoted the commercial landing of the industry's first batch of 5G Internet of things terminals and helped Chinese enterprises to speed up the development of overseas markets. In 2021, Qualcomm worked with Wuxi Health Statistics Center, Wuxi first Aid Center and Wuxi Mobile to create the "5G + Wisdom first Aid" project, which can save chest pain patients an average of 15 minutes of golden treatment time; in 2022, Qualcomm and its Chinese partners carried out the 5G fully connected factory project in Kone Elevator Kunshan Industrial Park in Jiangsu Province, realizing the production management application based on 5G industrial Internet platform. These four projects have also been awarded as the "demonstration case of Science and Technology Innovation Service" of the Trade and Industry Commission, indicating that Qualcomm's practice of promoting the application of 5G and other technologies in various industries has been widely recognized.

Qian said that continuous innovation and open cooperation are the important foundation for the development of the digital economy, which also reflects the virtuous circle of innovation and the vision that the intellectual property protection system is committed to achieve. In the future, Qualcomm will continue to promote mobile ecological development with high-quality innovation, promote the landing of more application scenarios, work with partners to promote the development of the digital economy, and jointly move towards a bright future of the Smart Internet of people and everything.
