From CNET: Huawei has scored a victory over rival Samsung in its home market of China.
A Chinese court has ordered the South Korean giant to pay Huawei 80 million yuan (around $11.6 million) for patent violations, reports ZDNet. Both companies have been notified of the court's decision.
In a string of claims filed in California and Shenzhen, China, Huawei alleged that over 20 models of Samsung's phones and tablets violated more than 10 of its patents, reported Reuters.
Samsung lodged a counterclaim in China, alleging that Huawei infringed on its patents too.
Patent infringement is a tricky issue for phonemakers, especially in China. Since 2014, Apple has been in and out of court for allegations it infringed on Baidu-backed phonemaker Shenzhen Baili's design patent. Apple eventually won the case on appeal last month.
