China's Huawei has won a patent victory over South Korea's Samsung, with a Chinese court in Quanzhou ordering Samsung to pay CNY80m ($11.6m) to Huawei for infringing its smartphone cellular technologies. The ruling by the People's Court of China (PCC), which was handed down on Monday, is likely to have an impact beyond China, as it could affect other countries that use Huawei's products. Huawei does not believe that this decision will adversely affect its global business operations." This ruling coincides with a judgement from the High Court of England and Wales that Huawei must pay US company Unwired Planet a global fee for its 4G patents or face a domestic sales ban.
