Back in October, Qualcomm sued Meizu over alleged patent infringement in several countries, including the US, France, and Germany. Meizu allegedly used patented 3G/4G technologies without the necessary licensing, but both companies have now reached a world-wide patent-licensing agreement.
The agreement settled all disputes between the two companies, and also grants Meizu the worldwide license to develop, manufacture and sell smartphones with CDMA2000, WCDMA, 4G LTE (including "triple mode"GSM / TD-SCDMA / LTE-TDD) terminals.
How much Meizu needs to pay is unknown, but it will definitely help Qualcomm since earlier this week it received a record 1.03 trillion won ($853 million) fine for violating antitrust laws.
