Qualcomm Loses Patent Infringement Ruling by Trade Panel

A Bloomberg News article, via The New York Times, reports that:

Qualcomm, a maker of cellphone chips, is infringing a Broadcom Corporation patent on a way to conserve handset battery power, a United States trade panel has found, upholding an administrative judge’s earlier finding.

The United States International Trade Commission will decide on a remedy by Feb. 9 for Qualcomm’s use of the technology without permission, Broadcom, a maker of chips for consumer electronic devices, said in a statement yesterday.
