filed against IDCC, then they should make certain the europeans are not price harmed and cut their profit margin equal to IDCC's FRAND royalty rate. How dare Huawei isinuate the following dribble.
Huawei Technologies Co., China’s largest phone-equipment maker, filed an antitrust complaint with European Union regulators that accuses InterDigital Inc. (IDCC) of refusing to license key wireless patents.
"Huawei alleges that InterDigital is abusing a dominant position for 3G technology patents agreed as industry standards and has made “unreasonable and discriminatory demands” on license fees, said Roland Sladek, a spokesman for Huawei in Shenzhen, China. Huawei filed the complaint May 23 because there was “no foreseeable resolution” to talks on the fees, it said in a statement.
“Such inflated demands from InterDigital could penalize European consumers” if they had to pay more for mobile phones and other products, Sladek said."
Does anyone on this board care if the European consumers have to pay more because Huawei has to pay a FRAND royalty rate that is required by ETSI. No where does Huawei mention that they are not paying IDCC and by paying IDCC they either have to cut their margin or charge the European's more. I don't see how this is IDCC's fault.
