Broadcom Gets Partial Win in Bid for U.S. Ban on Qualcomm Chips

By Susan Decker and Peter J. Brennan


Oct. 10 (Bloomberg) -- Broadcom Corp., a maker of chips for consumer devices, won a judge's ruling in its campaign for a ban on U.S. imports of Qualcomm Inc.'s newest cell-phone chipsets.

International Trade Commission Judge Charles Bullock said in a decision released today that Qualcomm chips infringe one Broadcom patent, and that phones using the chips also infringe the patent. The judge said two other patents weren't infringed.
