Earlier in the week, San Diego-based chipmaker Qualcomm had a suit filed against it by the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for unfair business practices. Today, Apple is now suing the company for $1 billion.
Even if you are only mildly interested in smartphones or other mobile devices, chances are you’ve heard the name Qualcomm before. Its technology can be found in a variety of different products on the market today and it also holds many patents for various cellular technologies.
So it comes as no surprise that brands like Samsung, LG, Sony, Motorola, and more rely on Qualcomm a great deal not only for its chips but also licensing deals.
