Samsung wins interim licence in UK patent fight with ZTE
LONDON: Samsung Electronics on Wednesday won a ruling from London's High Court in its attempt to get an interim licence to use ZTE 's patents, in the English leg of the firms' global licensing dispute over mobile phone patents . English courts have recently permitted parties to pursue short-term patent licences pending trial, including in Amazon's dispute with Nokia and Lenovo's battle with Ericsson, before both ultimately settled. Wednesday's ruling, though, is the first time in England that a court of first instance - the initial court where a case is heard - has made such an interim licence declaration. Disputes over the fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory (FRAND) terms of a patent licence have frequently led to global legal battles in the telecom industry. English courts can set global FRAND terms, following a landmark 2020 UK Supreme Court ruling, as can courts in China. Samsung sued ZTE in London in December 2024 seeking a determination of FRAND terms, with ZTE bringing parallel lawsuits against Samsung in China, Germany and Brazil. In London, Samsung sought a declaration that a willing licensor in ZTE's position would agree to an interim licence until FRAND terms were decided by the court. Both Samsung and ZTE had made competing offers for an interim licence, with ZTE's licence requiring FRAND terms to be those determined by a court in China. London's High Court ruled in Samsung's favour on Wednesday, with Judge James Mellor saying that "ZTE have acted in bad faith with their wave of unnecessary injunctive proceedings". The judge added that "ZTE's terms are designed to render this action (in London) pointless, so that Samsung effectively has to abandon it" in favour of accepting the outcome of ZTE's lawsuit in Chongqing in southwestern China. Samsung and ZTE did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Walmart CEO Doug McMillon says, Walmart will announce the next goal for India once ...
FILE (Harlan Bozeman/The New York Times) Walmart Inc President and CEO Doug McMillon emphasized the company's desire for a level playing field and consistent policies in all countries where it operates, stating that Walmart is well-equipped to navigate the current tariff challenges better than any other retailer. "We operate in many countries, and we consistently ask for a level playing field everywhere," McMillon told the Economic Times when questioned about India. "We engage with various governments, sharing our views on changes needed to better serve customers, but we don't set the rules—we comply with them." Talking about the goal for India market, McMillion said, Walmart will announce the next goal for India once it reaches the target of annually sourcing goods worth $10 billion from the country by 2027. He went on to highlight Walmart's preference for local sourcing and job creation, noting, "We like to buy locally, create jobs, and benefit from shorter lead times, especially for food and consumables." Media reports suggest that the Trump administration is pushing India to grant full access to its $125 billion e-commerce market for companies like Amazon and Walmart as part of ongoing bilateral trade agreement (BTA) negotiations, expected to conclude by next month. McMillon clarified that Walmart is not directly involved in these government-to-government talks. In India, e-commerce giants like Amazon and Walmart-owned Flipkart are prohibited from holding inventory or selling directly to consumers, unlike local firms such as Reliance Retail and Tata Group. McMillon stressed the importance of clear and predictable regulations, saying, "The more things are transparent and consistent, the better it is for business, whether in India or globally." On the possibility of Flipkart holding inventory in India, McMillon noted, "We have expertise in inventory management and would be happy if the rules allowed it, but we leave rule-making to others." Addressing tariffs, McMillon said Walmart's sourcing capabilities give it an edge. "We've been managing tariffs since 2018, and our experienced merchants can adapt by making different sourcing choices," he said. "We prioritize buying locally to create jobs and reduce lead times, though this is easier for food than general merchandise." McMillon underscored Walmart's commitment to low prices, stating, "Keeping the cost of living low is our priority. Low prices are in our DNA, and we aim to maintain a price gap with competitors to deliver value to customers globally." Regarding India, McMillon expressed optimism about Walmart's sourcing goals, saying, "We're on track to source $10 billion annually from India by 2027, with an expanding range of categories. It's encouraging to see this progress." He added that Walmart will continue sourcing from both India and China and will announce new targets for India once the current goal is achieved.

Rs 938 crore lost to cybercrooks since Jan
Bengaluru: As the financial landscape races ahead in its digital journey, a chilling new report warns of the dark flipside: Artificial intelligence (AI) rapidly emerging as the most-dangerous weapon in the cybercriminal's arsenal. In the first five months this year, Rs 938 crore was lost to cybercriminals across the state and a whopping 6,000 cases were registered. Data collated by state police shows cybercrooks made away with Rs 2,396 crore in 2024, Rs 562 crore in 2023 and Rs 113 crore in 2022. The state is seeing over 22,000 cybercrime cases per year. What is interesting is that a majority of them have been committed by deploying AI tools. "Cybercrimes are increasingly penetrating society, targeting even vulnerable senior citizens. Awareness must be created to educate society about the emerging threats," said DG&IGP MA Saleem after releasing "The State of AI-Powered Cybercrime: Threat & Mitigation Report-2025'. You Can Also Check: Bengaluru AQI | Weather in Bengaluru | Bank Holidays in Bengaluru | Public Holidays in Bengaluru The report, which was prepared by GIREM (Global Initiative for Restructuring Environment and Management) and automotive tech firm Tekion, throws light on cyber threats faced by the country following deployment of AI. The report highlights how cybercriminals are leveraging AI to craft phishing emails, clone websites and even spin up deepfake-driven scams. AI tools were involved in 80% of phishing mails, which, in other words, means that they were deployed in 8 out of every 10 phishing campaigns. "AI is transforming the cybercrime landscape, enabling attackers to execute faster, targeted and personalised attacks like never before," the report warned. "This report is a wake-up call. It doesn't just document cyber threats, it reveals the human cost behind them," said Jay Vijayan, founder and CEO of Tekion.
