QUALCOMM Sues Maxim Integrated Products for Patent Infringement
SAN DIEGO, Dec. 12 --
QUALCOMM Incorporated (Nasdaq: QCOM), today filed suit against Maxim
Integrated Products, Inc. in federal court in San Diego for infringement of
three QUALCOMM patents that cover inventions relating to the transmission,
reception and processing of radio signals by wireless telephones. QUALCOMM's
complaint states that Maxim is infringing the patents by the manufacture and
sale of integrated circuits for use in wireless handsets. The allegedly
infringing Maxim products do not compete with QUALCOMM's Mobile Station
Modem(TM) (MSM(TM)) family of integrated circuits but are designed to
interoperate with those products. QUALCOMM seeks an injunction against the
continued manufacture and sale of these products as well as monetary damages.
"QUALCOMM's extensive investments in research and development have yielded
valuable innovations in the field of RF transmission and reception that
QUALCOMM has incorporated into its cutting-edge integrated circuit products
and protected through the patent system," said Louis Lupin, senior vice
president and general counsel for QUALCOMM. "QUALCOMM will not allow
competitors to benefit unfairly from QUALCOMM's innovations in violation of
QUALCOMM's patent rights."
