For anyone watching the industry, this really isn’t any surprise. A jury awarded Broadcom millions of dollars in May of 2007. It was only common sense that current and future sales of the chips would be halted.
A federal judge has ordered wireless giant Qualcomm to stop selling data chips that infringe on patents belonging to its smaller rival Broadcom.
U.S. District Judge James Selna issued the ruling Monday, the latest in a series of legal victories Broadcom Corp. (BRCM) scored over Qualcomm Inc. (QCOM, Fortune 500) in 2007 related to rights to technology for cell phones. The three patented chips use WCDMA technology, a small but fast-growing part of the wireless market used mostly in American T-Mobile and AT&T (T, Fortune 500) phones.
I’m sure we’ll be hearing much more about this case, and more like it, in the months to come, but for now, it seems Broadcom has been doing quite well in their battle against Qualcomm.
