"In the interim, Broadcom will continue to pursue its claims under the patents against Qualcomm in the U.S. District Court in San Diego." Blanning said the latest ruling only affects two of the 16 patent claims it has against Qualcomm. They include six in San Diego federal court and five in U.S. District Court in Santa Ana. Broadcom sued Qualcomm last spring in federal court in addition to filing its case with the commission. Qualcomm fired back in summer with its own lawsuit. Broadcom claimed Qualcomm has abused the wireless technology standards-setting process and failed to license technology for mobile phone standards on fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory terms, amid other charges.
