SHENZHEN -- China's Huawei Technologies has published standard royalty rates for its Wi-Fi and smartphone patents as the sanctions-hit communications equipment company steps up fee collection to make up for declined product sales. 

Huawei said Thursday it will charge 50 cents per unit for next-generation Wi-Fi 6 consumer devices. The announcement coincided with the start of an intellectual property forum in Shenzhen.
