Qualcomm lost the copyright lawsuit over $ 19 million

The federal court on May 29 ruled that Qualcomm violated three technology rights and demanded that it compensate its competitor Broadcom for $ 19.6 million.

Qualcomm insists it will take steps to appeal to change the court's ruling. But if an unsuccessful appeal against Qualcomm will face a three-fold increase in fines in accordance with the court of appeal.

Broadcom said it also planned to recommend California Central District Court to prohibit Qualcomm from continuing to trade in pirated products.

On June 18, the first hearing in Qualcomm's appeal will be conducted. If the court does not intend to change the judgment Qualcomm will appeal to a higher court.

Among Qualcomm's alleged infringement rights this time, copyrighted wireless video processing technology, multi-network call handling technology on a different technology infrastructure and walkie-feature technology talkie on cellphone.

In addition, Broadcom sent Qualcomm a complaint to the US International Trade Commission asking for a ban on Qualcomm from selling wireless cell phones with Qualcomm's high-speed connectivity technology.

It is expected that by June 7, the committee will formally decide.
