Broadcom VS Qualcomm, Patent Suite, Broadcom Wins

Source: snapvoip.blogspot.com

U.S. District Court Judge James V. Selna upheld an earlier decision finding that Qualcomm Inc. infringed on three Broadcom patents,Broadcom also agreed to accept a $19.6 million award for patent infringement damages against Qualcomm.
The judge cut the original $39.2 million award in half and gave Broadcom the option to seek a new trial or accept the award. Broadcom now will seek to prevent Qualcomm, from making, using, selling, and developing third-generation WCDMA and EV-DO cellular chips that infringe any of the three patents that were in question.
The three patents in dispute were related to video compression, a push-to-talk function similar to a walkie talkie, and technology that enables a handset to simultaneously access data and voice networks.
