Qualcomm claims Apple stole trade secrets, gave them to Intel to improve modem chips
Qualcomm's legal battle with Apple intensifies

The big picture: Qualcomm no doubt took a big financial hit when it lost Apple as a customer for the new iPhones. According to Qualcomm, Apple used its technology to help Intel improve its own modems so it could switch to them as a supplier. Will the legal system agree?

In its latest filing, Qualcomm has asked a judge to add the new accusations to an existing lawsuit scheduled to go to trial in April 2019.

According to CNBC, Qualcomm doesn’t provide direct evidence of this but references back-and-forth discussions between Apple and Intel engineers as well as Apple’s source code development history.

Qualcomm's general counsel, Donald Rosenberg, told CNBC that "unlawful use of Qualcomm's valuable trade secrets to try to help a competitor catch up irreparably harms us and must not be allowed to continue."

Apple's refusal to talk to Qualcomm results in another court face-off
December 2, 2018
https://www.techspot.com/news/77670-apple-refusal-talk-qualcomm-results-another-court-face.html

The battle escalated massively when Qualcomm countersued Apple claiming that they had stolen Qualcomm trade secrets and given them to Intel so that they can switch modem suppliers. Since then, Intel has made leaps and bounds and become the sole provider of Apple’s iPhone modems.

As reported by the San Diego Tribune, the companies will be bringing all their major allegations into one new trial beginning April 15th, in the San Diego Federal Court. Qualcomm originally requested a February trial [...]

This new information is in direct opposition to previous reports from Qualcomm CEO Steve Mollenkopf himself, who said on CNBC last week that Apple and Qualcomm are “on the doorstep of a resolution.”
While we’ll have to wait a long time to see if Apple’s switch to Intel has any implications for consumers [...] the wait for this legal battle to end will probably be even longer.

Apple Restarts Sales Of Older iPhones In Germany
February 14, 2019

But now according to Reuters, Apple and Qualcomm have reached an agreement whereby Apple can resume selling the two iPhone models again.

The only caveat is that Apple can only sell older versions of the iPhone handsets that utilise Qualcomm chips.
Bitter fight
Despite this agreement, the two sides look set to continue their legal tussle. Last October Qualcomm said that Apple owed it $7bn (£5.5bn) in patent royalty payments for the use in its chip in iPhones.
Prior to that, Qualcomm accused Apple of stealing its technology in order to share it with rival chip makers, including Intel.

U.S. federal court jury finds Apple infringed three Qualcomm patents
March 16, 2019
https://techcrunch.com/2019/03/16/u...finds-apple-infringed-three-qualcomm-patents/

A jury in a U.S. federal court in San Diego found Friday that Apple owes Qualcomm about $31M for infringing three patents, per Reuters.

Qualcomm has filed a number of patent suits against the iPhone maker in the U.S., Europe and Asia in recent years. The suits are skirmishes in a bigger battle between the pair over licensing terms that Apple alleges are unfair and illegal.
As we reported earlier the San Diego patent suit relates to the power consumption and speed of boot-up times for iPhones sold between mid-2017 and late-2018.

In a statement provided to the news agency Apple said: “Qualcomm’s ongoing campaign of patent infringement claims is nothing more than an attempt to distract from the larger issues they face with investigations into their business practices in U.S. federal court, and around the world.”

The agreement included a one-time payment, a licensing deal between the two companies and Apple said it would buy Qualcomm chips.
