well, you are absolutely right that you have no idea why Qualcomm is being sued. No, they are not hardware patents. They are mostly wireless that Qualcomm declared to be standard under FRAND terms. Qualcomm's direct competitors are directly harmed by Qualcomm's monopolistic pratices -- such as not granting licenses to their competitors when Qualcomm promised to do so in violation of FRAND. It not only violates ETSI rules, the standard setting organization governing wireless standards like CDMA and 4G, but also US's anti-competitor/trust laws.
