HTC denies paying $ 6 to $ 8 per device to Apple
It is not uncommon to see Apple signing a deal with a rival company to lay the foundations of a patent truce of ten years. Apple is a potentially destructive, is the Death Star in the galaxy of mobile telephony. And while it is true that Darth Vader is gone, the Empire does not seem to have changed much with the new bosses. This led us to think that there was something more behind all plot eta patent and legal battles. Peter Chou, HTC has confirmed that pay between 6 and 8 per device sold, and now that's important.Call me conspiratorial, but my first thought when I read about the agreement reached between the Taiwanese and the Americans on the block, is that it was all a ploy to hurt Samsung. As they were leaving the first data, I began to doubt my hypothesis. Posed a scheme in which favored Apple HTC so it could be more competent, stand up to Samsung, subtract market share and, indirectly, make Apple again be the largest.
However, it all began to sink when I saw it was possible that they had reached agreement means a payment of between 6 and 8 dollars for each device sold by HTC to bite the apple. It was a very large amount, and there might be a possibility that Apple was looking more for the money back to dominate the galaxy.
However, the words of Chou, head of HTC, reconfirm the confidence I had in myself. According to this directive, which some analysts have estimated that they have to pay that amount per device, is "outrageous." By their words can deduce two things. For one, you do not pay such a large amount, that is clear, so the economic benefit to Apple would not be so great. On the other hand, it also confirms that pay something, but not both, because if not, it's likely that his words had been all.
Let us return to retake the hypothesis. Samsung is interested in knowing the data on HTC-Apple agreement that may be relevant to their own legal battle. It could be behind this discover some conditions that may denounced as unfair competition. If Apple is giving free HTC which is suing Samsung, the South Koreans may have option attack out there. Solution? Are charged a per device, almost laughable, that serves to sell the cake of economic reasons, while at the same time know that Samsung would not accept a deal with them like that. The end result is that HTC is free to grow, while Apple is still trying to oppress the Koreans. If this hypothesis is all that can happen to a simple and humble editor, I do not even want to imagine what they're up on the dark side of the galaxy.
