Apple faces 5G chip patent infringement lawsuit on iPhone 12

Apple and Qualcomm face a lawsuit over allegations of patent infringement. The lawsuit concerns certain 5G technologies used by the two companies, which are accused of violating RF calibration patents.

Quoted from Apple Insider, Monday, April 12, 2021, a lawsuit was filed in the West District Court of Texas, United States, last week. Apple and Qualcomm have been accused of violating the patents of the 5G wireless transceiver chip maker.

It is stated that the violation is in the transceiver technology in the iPhone 12 series. More specifically, the lawsuit targets the SMR526, SDR865, and SDX55M chips made by Qualcomm. The plaintiff is Red Rock, which claims to have patented the technology first.

According to the contents of the lawsuit, Apple and Qualcomm are aware of the patent. Red Rock says Qualcomm has received at least three notifications of the existence of the patent between 2008-2011.
Further, the lawsuit states that the actions taken by the iPhone maker and Qualcomm, "have been, and continue to be, done in a deliberate, gruesome manner and constitute an intentional infringement of intellectual property."

The lawsuit is scheduled to be heard soon. A lawsuit was filed to prohibit Apple and Qualcomm from infringing on patents, along with demands for royalty payments and even covering damages.

# Japan Review of Cosplayers Commercial Copyright Rules

The Japanese government plans to review copyright rules to prevent possible violations of the law by cosplayers there. Quoted from Kyodo News Agency, Sunday, January 31, 2021, this was because the number of people who dress up as animated characters and games continues to grow.

While wearing character costumes does not infringe on copyright, infringement can occur if someone is paid to do so, such as appearing at an event. Shinji Inoue, the minister in charge of the "Cool Japan" strategy for the promotion of Japanese pop culture abroad, said on Friday January 29, 2021 that the government plans to review commercial copyright rules regarding fair use by the end of the fiscal year in March.

"To further promote the 'cosplay' culture, it's important to have an environment where people can feel safe and have fun," said Inoue.
The government has no plans to revise copyright laws for fear that stricter regulations will drive people away from cosplay. Instead, he plans to share specific examples of situations in which cosplayers might be asked to pay for copyright to raise awareness.

The government has heard from cosplay creators and performers, including Enako, who has been appointed as the Japanese government's ambassador on this issue. Some cosplayers have pointed out the need for a framework that will allow them to contact copyright holders for permission.

Taro Yamada, a member of the Liberal Democratic Party's Intellectual Property Strategy Research Commission, has proposed creating a database to make it easier for people to identify copyright holders. "We need a framework to protect cosplay creators and performers," said Yamada.
