Patent can be said that the core competitiveness of wireless communications. According to Taiwan's "NARL" analyzed data compiled by the end of 2013, the United States has the largest 4G standard essential patents, a total of 1661, China ranked second with 1247, ranking third in Korea 1062 . Ranked four to ten countries (regions) were Japan, Finland, Sweden, China Taiwan, France, Canada and Germany.

From the business point of view, Qualcomm topped the list, up to 655, followed by Samsung in South Korea before and after the 652, China's Huawei ranked third with 603. Nokia 505 4G standard essential patents in Finland accounted for 80% of the country, while Sweden's 399 patents all for Ericsson. ZTE ranked seventh with 368, Datang Telecom has 273 4G standard essential patents, ranking tenth. The main owner of the company also includes U.S. Patent InterDigital (418 pieces).

NARL noted that the current 4G standards worldwide patent is led by the International Telecommunication Union, commissioned by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) to co-ordinate management. But only accept patent ETSI reported and announced, did not examine whether these patents are standard essential patents, these data are "NARL" collated.
Through the collection and analysis, NARL think, 4G communications technology has yet to mature, to 2017, 4G connectivity features dual field of small base stations, multi-frequency carrier aggregation, cross WiFi connection protocol, D2D (Device device) security ten important technological breakthroughs must, ranked by the vendor will have the chance to catch up. NARL also believes that the field of communication presents the bigger trend.
4G era of wireless communication makes the competition more intense, the importance of patents reserves at both ends of the more prominent. Such as "patent trolls" InterDigital sued over patent infringement, the intent to obtain huge economic benefits, but in front of Huawei, ZTE touch with a bloody nose. As another example in 2012 when HTC flourishing business, suffered from multiple patent fight rapid decline. Statistics show that only 44 HTC 4G core patents, 4G era still faces the threat of patent litigation.
4G era on the network side, Huawei, ZTE and other Chinese manufacturers have mastered the advantage of a strong patent and PCT patent applications from international point of view, this advantage continues to increase. But in the terminal side, Qualcomm occupies a strong position, and through technical superiority and patent stick, almost monopolized the domestic 4G terminal chip market, terminal manufacturers exploit against competitors. The rapid development of China 4G industry need to guard against the potential risks.
