Qcom royalties dropping as earlier patents have expired and swaps reduce royalty power. As expected. One of the reasons I finally sold all qcom a couple of years ago. Also NZ tax laws. And competition in chips. Mqurice

Your claim is a big one, not internally supported with verifiable facts, figures, etc., prompting me to ask: Where did you get the figures? My research shows that in 2022, Huawei’s patent royalties were $560 million, not $4bn. reuters.com Huawei has not disclosed amount for 2023. Would be surprised if they were anywhere near $4bn. Your figures for QCOM are generally correct. In other words, QCOM makes several times the amount in royalties than Huawei. Huawei undoubtedly pays QCOM much more in royalties than it receives from QCOM. It generally has paid triple the amount it has received in royalties. asia.nikkei.com Royalties are a rough measure of creativity and innovation. Congrats, you even fooled the normally sagacious Mq with this latest bit of propaganda.
