Qualcomm Incorporated (NASDAQ: QCOM) and Beijing Tianyu Communication Equipment Co., Ltd. (Tianyu), today announced that they have entered into a new 3G and 4G Chinese patent license agreement. Under the terms of the agreement, Qualcomm has granted Tianyu a royalty-bearing patent license to manufacture and sell 3G WCDMA and CDMA2000 (including EV-DO), and 4G LTE (including “3-mode” GSM, TD-SCDMA and LTE-TDD) subscriber units for use in China. The royalties payable by Tianyu are consistent with the terms of the rectification plan submitted by Qualcomm to China’s National Reform and Development Commission.
