"The court found Apple violated two of Qualcomm’s software patents around resizing photographs and managing applications on a touch screen."
Well, that's not exactly the victory they wanted, but I think Qualcomm will take anything they can get at this point.
- Queenie_15 8y agoIt's just one front among many in their battle. The idea is to make things difficult for Apple.
- izacus 8y agoIt's the same type of patent Apple used against Samsung in US, so it's not like they're an innocent party in this dance.
- smitty1110 8y agoI'm not saying they are (these type of patents suck), I'm just commenting on the fact that Qualcomm really want's a court ruling on LTE modems. They want to force Apple back to the negotiating table, and IMO this ruling isn't enough.
- interesthrow2 8y ago2 wrongs don't make a right. Although the "swipe to unlock" patent case was ridiculous.
- bunnycorn 8y agoThe most important thing is that it made into the headlines that and drove the AAPL stock down, and the QCOM stock up. - "Chinese Court Says Apple Infringed on Qualcomm Patents" New York times - "Apple Hit With Sales Ban on Older iPhones in China" Wall Street Journal - "China bans most iPhone sales after granting Qualcomm an injunction against Apple" CNN - "Apple Banned From China As A Result Of Battle With Qualcomm" Forbes - "Qualcomm Says It Won Case Banning Sale of Older iPhones in China" Bloomberg It's plain ridiculous and shows how much the press cares about the truth and how much Qualcomm and others are paying them to write misleading crap like that. In theory, Qualcomm banned iPhone sales in China. In practice, no. All phones that Apple is selling have the latest iOS 12, so it's plain wrong that they banned the sale of a single iPhone, old or new.
