But wouldn't a decision to support the ITC injunction just bring Apple back to the negotiating table? Seems hard to believe that Qualcomm would go scorched earth on a customer like that. Especially one from whom it's getting big royalties from.
- Animats 10y agoCisco has done that to Arista in the past. Apple has done that to Samsung. Samsung tried to do it to Apple, but Obama overruled that. (The President can block ITC injunctions.) Usually what happens is a very fast settlement by the infringing party.
- madeofpalk 10y agoApple and Qualcomm hate each other, and have done for a while. Their contract is literally called 'Cooperation Agreement'. Apple says "For many years Qualcomm has unfairly insisted on charging royalties for technologies they have nothing to do with." Qualcomm says similar things.
