There is another lawsuit in which Apple and chipmakers are both plaintiffs against Qualcomm. But it’s overly complicated with cross appeal all over the place. It’ll probably end up with a settlement and this specific case should be seen as leverage for Qualcomm and nothing else. I don’t think an US iPhone ban could actually be enforced in forseable future.
- tooltalk 8y agoI think you are referring to Apple and Apple's CMs (contract manufacturers) lawsuit against Qualcomm? These are really one single lawsuit orchestrated by Apple. The issue isn't overly complicated -- they are essentially refusing to pay Qualcomm licensing fees for their wireless patents on the ground that Qualcomm's licensing practice is in violation of antitrust laws. Thus, their claims rest heavily on the outcome of the FTC case.
