"The Telegraph" declare : Huawei told to pay fees to avoid UK sales ban

The High Court has issued an injunction against Huawei that will require the Chinese mobile phone giant to pay licence fees to escape a ban on UK smartphone sales. However, the existence of the injunction is a legal defeat for the company after fighting Unwired Planet for three years. The ruling is highly unlikely to see Huawei handsets pulled from shelves, since the company has said it is prepared to pay royalties set out by the court. The injunction has been put on hold as Huawei, which is the world's third-biggest smartphone maker behind Apple and Samsung, prepares to appeal the ruling. In a ruling handed down last week, Huawei was ordered to pay royalties on the millions of smartphones it sells around the world to Unwired Planet, a US company that owns thousands of networking patents obtained from Ericsson.

Huawei ordered to pay royalties to avoid smartphone sales ban in UK

Huawei will have to pay licence fees to avoid a smartphone sales ban in the UK. However, as the company is ready to pay royalties as ordered by the court, sales of its smartphones are unlikely to be stopped. The High Court, in a ruling earlier this month, ordered Huawei to pay royalties on millions of smartphones the Chinese company sells across the globe to US company Unwired Planet that owns thousands of patents. Justice Birss ruled that royalties on global sales would be "fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory". Huawei welcomed the ruling as the royalty rates were reasonably lower than what Unwired had asked for.
