Mobiles with Qualcomm chips banned in USA

🐌Austin, TX Icrontian
From news release 07-062, released on June 7th, 2007 by the US ITC:
<blockquote>
The chips and chipsets at issue are used in handheld wireless communications devices, including cellular telephone handsets, that are capable of operating on so-called third-generation ("3G") cellular telephone networks, i.e., EV-DO ("Evolution-Data Optimized") and WCDMA ("Wideband Code Division Multiple Access") networks such as those operated by Verizon, Sprint, and AT&T.
The Commission previously determined that certain Qualcomm chips and chipsets were imported in violation of U.S. law because they infringe a U.S. patent held by Broadcom; the patent relates to mobile device capabilities and power management. Under section 337, which is designed to protect and enforce U.S. intellectual property rights, the Commission must determine the appropriate remedy to address this violation.</blockquote>
And so it continues in the same dreary, legal fashion to elaborate: Qualcomms in ur patentz, violatin' ur IP. For that, bless this thy holy ban grenade, so that with it we might blow our competitors to tiny bits.
