Nokia will have another chance to stop a lawsuit brought by chip
maker Qualcomm in the latest twist in a long-running patent battle
between the companies. A US appeals court has ordered a
reconsideration of an earlier decision in Qualcomm's favour.
...
The case involves 11 Qualcomm patents and one belonging to its
subsidiary SnapTrack. The case was filed just a week after Nokia
joined with other companies to complain to the European Commission
about Qualcomm's use of patents for third generation mobile phone
technology.
Nokia, Panasonic, Broadcom, NEC, Texas Instruments and Ericsson
claimed to the Commission that Broadcom violated Europe's anti-trust
regulations.
An administrative judge ruled earlier this month that Qualcomm
infringed some patents belonging to Broadcom. That judge did find,
though, that not all of Broadcom's infringement claims were
justified.
