Judge Lucy H. Koh of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California has ruled that Qualcomm is in violation of the FTC Act for unlawfully suppressing competition and extracting excessive licensing fees, reports FOSS Patents.The judge found that "Qualcomm’s licensing practices have strangled competition in the CDMA and premium LTE modem chip markets for years, and harmed rivals, OEMs, and end consumers in the process."
Although some of the remedies requested by the FTC were too vague, the Commission has practically prevailed on all counts, a resounding victory.
