  I didn’t realize so many companies had 5G related patents. Are they part of patent pool like MP3 (was) or h.264? Where you can pay one entity and it gets distributed to all of the holders?

    >I didn’t realize so many companies had 5G related patents. Which is part of the reason why you are downvoted. I upvoted it so it just stay visible and not lost in the conversation. Nope, there isn't a patent pool. Which is part of the problem. But most Manufacturers and Assembly take care of it. So in this case, Foxconn would have everything sorted out for you. And if you are big enough, you can negotiate with each individual patents owner. And there are lots of standard patents that aren't really useful in mobile, like lots of IoT and V2X use cases. Some of them I think are complete garbage.
