The FTC's antitrust case is still on and Judge Koh's pre-trial decision on component-level licensing must be reversed to preserve QC's licensing model.
- wyldfire 8y ago> Judge Koh's pre-trial decision on component-level licensing That was a weird ruling IMO, this has been the status quo since prior to Apple's entry into the cell phone market. (Note that Apple's not even a licensee -- it's Foxconn's "device" that we're talking about here).
- tooltalk 8y agoyes, true. QCOM's is completely legit and consistent with ETSI FRAND. Apple's hometown court Judge Koh ruled that under ATIS/TIA however it's a breach of FRAND obligation.
