TOKYO -- Japanese mobile carrier NTT Docomo on Tuesday stressed it remains a global leader on 5G technology, though the company has faced difficulty monetizing its patents related to next-generation wireless networks.
"The top six players, including Docomo, all have similar shares of around 10%," Shinsuke Ogawa, head of Docomo's intellectual property department, said at a briefing on Tuesday, citing recent findings by a Tokyo research firm.
