Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Huanan Wu Yanzu, OC_Formula for clue delivery! CTOnews.com September 19 news, although ASUS in the smartphone market volume is small, but it has a lot of patents, can help the company generate revenue.

Recently, ASUS filed a lawsuit against Samsung for infringing its 4G / 5G wireless communication patents. According to DigiTimes, ASUS has accused Samsung of infringing on its wireless communications patents with multiple 4G / 5G smartphones, including the Galaxy Z Flip 5. It is reported that this is because ASUS and Samsung have not reached an agreement on patent licensing fees.

ASUS recently formed ASUS Technology Licensing and Innovative Acoustics Ltd., which owns all ASUS patents and is the subject of a lawsuit filed in the Eastern District Court of Texas. CTOnews.com notes that the lawsuit relates to a wireless communications patent (U.S. Patent No. 10,187,878) that describes a "method and apparatus for improving transmission using configured resources in wireless communications systems," covering many 4G and 5G smartphones.

According to RPX Insight, this is a standard essential patent, and such lawsuits typically take years to reach a conclusion.
