SAN DIEGO, May 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- QUALCOMM Incorporated
(Nasdaq: QCOM) announced that a federal jury in Santa Ana, California
returned verdicts today finding that certain of QUALCOMM's products
infringe three patents owned by Broadcom Corporation. The jury found that
QUALCOMM does not infringe one claim of one of the Broadcom patents. The
three patents at issue in this case (U.S. Patents Nos. 6,847,686;
6,389,010; and 5,657,317) were acquired by Broadcom from third parties and
then asserted by Broadcom against certain QUALCOMM products. The court set
a hearing for June 18 to schedule post-trial motions and further
proceedings, including whether any injunctive relief is appropriate.
    Broadcom filed the lawsuit in May 2005, alleging that five of its
patents had been infringed. During the course of the litigation, Broadcom
dismissed one patent, and the court stayed the case with respect to a
second patent. Broadcom had purchased all the patents at issue, and none of
the patents Broadcom litigated at trial were inventions developed
specifically in connection with cellular technology or standards.
    The jury awarded Broadcom a total of $19.6 million in damages and found
that QUALCOMM's infringement was willful. A damages award may be increased
up to three-fold for willful infringement. The trial judge will determine
whether there should be any increase in the damages award based on the
finding of willfulness.
    "We continue to believe that none of the Broadcom patent claims are
valid or were infringed by QUALCOMM, and we will challenge the jury's
findings of infringement, validity and willfulness in post-trial motions
and on appeal if necessary," said Lou Lupin, executive vice president and
general counsel, QUALCOMM.
