The impact of Qualcomm's punishment is mainly reflected in the following four aspects.

First,for Qualcomm itself, as the world's largest mobile phone chip manufacturer, Qualcomm is the only semiconductor manufacturer whose most profits come from patent licensing.

Mobile phone manufacturers have to pay patent fees whether they use their chips or not.

As governments all over the world review Qualcomm's business practices, this lucrative business is being impacted.

The original mode of seizing the market at a price lower than the cost also won't work.

However, due to Qualcomm's positive acceptance of the survey results of China Development and Reform Commission, Qualcomm shares rose by about 3% to US$ 69.15 in after-hours trading of US stocks, and once exceeded US$ 70 after opening on next day.

Secondly, it also has some influences on other enterprises.

For domestic enterprises, domestic related enterprises are forced to strengthen technological innovation.

For foreign companies, especially for companies such as Intel and Samsung, Qualcomm's punishment means that it has lost a part of its market share, which makes the competition among companies more intense.

Thirdly, the impact on consumers.

For most domestic mobile phone companies, the direct impact of Qualcomm's rectification plan is that the patent licensing fee is reduced by 35% compared with the previous one. This may further aggravate the price war in the low-end mobile phone market. Consumers can buy suitable mobile phones at lower prices.

Finally, the impact on Sino-US relations

While China uses anti-monopoly policies to restrict foreign-funded enterprises from collecting patent use fees, domestic-funded enterprises are also accepting anti-monopoly investigations and anti-monopoly penalties. Sino-US relations were once very tense.
