高通在4G无线通信专利中占据领先地位，拥有24%的LTE相关专利声明及16%的潜在4G技术专利。三星以12%的专利申请量位居第二，诺基亚则以6%的数量排名第三。尽管此数据反映的是18个月前的工作成果，但预计未来两年随着4G市场的快速发展，这一格局可能会发生变化。

Qualcomm Takes Lead As 4G Patent Holder

Qualcomm looks set to be the leading patent holder in 4G wireless communications after recording 24% of ETSI declarations surrounding LTE, as well as 16% of the 26,000 patents that have potential relevance to 4G technologies generally, including WiMAX.

Other notable players in the LTE field include Interdigital (18%), Huawei (10%), LG (9%), Nokia (9%) and Samsung (7%). When considering the whole 4G environment Samsung takes second spot with 12% of all patent filings, and Nokia takes third with 6%.

Stuart Carlaw, chief research officer at ABI Research, comments, "Innovation in this space continues unabated. Given that these declarations reflect work completed 18 months ago, it is very feasible that this landscape could shift again during the coming two years as we see the 4G market ramp up."

He goes on to add that, "We see no major reason why the licensing situation in 4G will be significantly different from that for 3G. There is still a big list of 'haves' but also a large list of 'have-nots'. The only major change is that the list of haves has changed significantly to embrace newly active patent holders such as Samsung and Huawei."
