U.S. International Trade Commission to Investigate Qualcomm Complaint Against Apple
The U.S International Trade Commission (ITC) announced on Tuesday that it has voted to investigate Qualcomm's (NASDAQ: QCOM) complaints of patent infringement by Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL). The mobile chip giant filed a complaint in July, following reports in May that Qualcomm would seek an import ban. There are six patents at the heart of the complaint, none of which are deemed to be standards-essential patents (SEPs), which would require that Qualcomm license them to other companies.
The ITC makes it clear that it "has not yet made any decision on the merits of the case," but within 45 days will set a target date to complete the investigation.
