After a long series of lawsuits between Qualcomm and Broadcom last year, it was determined that Qualcomm was in violation of patents when using certain chipsets and an injunction was issued. A court has found that Qualcomm has been violating that injunction and has ordered Qualcomm to make a payment to Broadcom for profits lost. The violation is for the use of the chipsets in the company’s Q-chat walkie-talkie feature used by Sprint Nextel. In a slap from the court, it was also ordered that all Qualcomm employees currently using older phones with the questionable chips in place must stop using them immediately. Qualcomm says that it will pay the fine but file an appeal as the company believes that they are not in violation of the injunction.
