Three subsidiaries of Samsung Electronics have been ordered to pay China's tech giant Huawei 80 million yuan for patent infringement, as well as 500 thousand yuan in litigation costs, reports qzwb.com on Thursday.
The Chinese ruling coincides with a judgement from the High Court of England and Wales that Huawei must pay a US firm a global fee for its 4G patents or face a local sales ban.
去年5月，华为在中美两地（深圳和加利福尼亚）对三星提起专利侵权诉讼（launch legal action over patent infringement），涉及10多项专利。华为称有20多款三星手机和平板电脑未经授权使用其手机通信及软件专利技术（cellular communications and software inventions had been used in Samsung's phones and tablets without its permission）。
关于和三星一案，华为发言人表示，通过尊重和保护彼此的知识产权，让研发投入有回报，可以促进行业创新，推动行业健康持续的发展（respecting and protecting the intellectual property of others enables all companies to make a return on our R&D investments. We maintain that respect for intellectual property promotes innovation and healthy, sustained growth in the industry）。
