Mainland officials planned to foster the semiconductor industry, including IC design industry global rankings since 2010, ranked third, the overall output of the market share of "quantity", has successively approaching Taiwan. However, a symbol of the IC design industry is the future of IP technology patent energy "qualitative change", the threat to Taiwan deserves more attention.

In February this year, the mainland mobile phone brand huawei smartphone market in mainland China for the first time beyond apple iPhone is so predictable, when mainland brands to master the world's second largest mobile phone market, voice will become more and more powerful in the international standards, Taiwan semiconductor industry in the patent layout, patent standards have had to focus on the mainland.

According to the annual report "China's integrated circuit industry of intellectual property rights", the Chinese IC design patent categories, divided into analogy, logic, storage (memory), and processor class, official statistics on the mainland, huawei in analog IC layout in the champions league, even in the United States qualcomm, Intel. Lead logic IC, Japan's SONY, qualcomm times, huawei, the third.

Memory, huawei in the champions league, the United States IBM, as for samsung is the third leading global memory factory. Processor, Intel in the crown and huawei, IBM is third. In the four patent statistical rankings, confusion, don't get the answer is, no one of Taiwan's IC design company.

It is worth noting that another patent layout in mainland China, accidentally see China IC design factory, but the mainland IC design leading factory "sea" of parent company, huawei is ranked in the bookstores.

Haisi chip layout, in fact, from the STB, router, communication and other chips, has successfully entered the current IC of the main processor "" mobile phone, now not only in mainland China, including the rarely seen in international patent layout of names of" sea ", because of the sea, mostly through its parent company, as well as the biggest customer (huawei) to apply for a patent.

With huawei in the international city smartphone market share gradually increase, combined with China's growing global development standards headed, Taiwan IC design industry, or the official unit, if he still thinks himself, not to actively participate in the mainland market standards, will be like in the warm water boiled frog, I don't know when death has come.
