Monterey: I previously posted details of proposed LTE royalty rates for some of the major companies, including Huawei. See my post.

To add to the companies I previously listed, here is what ZTE has proposed.

“It will take a long time to finalize the LTE standard as well as the share of LTE essential patents. One of the best methods to increase the transparency and predictability of the royalty is to publish each company’s licensing royalty. Based on the proportionality of the contribution of each company of LTE standard, as well as ZTE’s technology investments, ZTE will license its LTE essential patents for mobile communication terminals with a maximum 1% from the sales price of an end-user device. However, ZTE will not be restrained to this amount, if ZTE is involved in any licensing negotiations. While in multi-mode terminals, ZTE will follow similar principle in setting the royalty rate for LTE essential patents, which will be determined in bilateral negotiation.”
