Completely invalid? I wouldn't go that far. It makes it very easy for a Chinese company to make knockoffs of your software and sell it cheaply, robbing you of large amounts of business.

Patents only exist in the country for which they are applied for. The British law on patents has no effect on China. Now, Chinese firms are prevented from selling their counterfeit software here, now, but that's not their target market, anyway, mainly developing nations.
