Money Talks - On the Cell Phone
The
June 7 ITC ban on Qualcomm chips, stemming from rival Broadcom's patent
infringement assertion, has drawn fire from CTIA, a wireless industry trade
group.
CTIA wrote a letter to President Bush Wednesday, requesting a veto of the
ITC action, citing the economic damage such a ban would have.
Bush has 60 days to review, and veto, the ITC decision prior to its finalization.
Qualcomm, along with service providers Sprint Nextel and Verizon, and phone manufacturers LG, Motorola, Samsung, and Kyocera, have already filed motions with the CAFC to stay the ITC decision pending an appeal. Motions to stay were also filed with the ITC.
