Bad Timing

Broadcom kept the pressure on Qualcomm with the looming ITC injunction of Qualcomm chips for infringing Broadcom patents. Qualcomm and it customers: phone makers and service providers, tried to block the ITC ban by appealing to the CAFC. The ITC and Broadcom countered that CAFC intervention was untimely given that the 60-day presidential review period, by which the President may veto the injunction, is still underway. The CAFC concurred. (CAFC 07-1392)
