There are a lot of words here with not much sense. This isn't just Apple v Qualcomm. Four of the major tech manufacturers (Hon Hai Precision Industry, Pegatron, Wistron, and Compal) are also suing [0] Qualcomm for $9 billion, which may be tripled to $27 billion. "The group's complaint is that Qualcomm charges for chips used in manufacturing, but then requires a patent royalty on top, which the firms believe is an anticompetitive business practice. While the firms collectively demand $9 billion from Qualcomm in damages if the payments are deemed illegal, there is also a possibility of the figure tripling if antitrust claims in the suit also succeed."
