September 29, 2008

Analysis of:U.S. appeals court favors Broadcom vs Qualcomm | www.reuters.com

The coverage regarding this week's decision in the BRCM/QCOM patent litigation has stressed the surface facts: namely, that two BRCM patents were affirmed on appeal, and only one was rejected.  What the coverage misses, however, is that the patents are far from equal players.   The patent that was rejected was by far the most important patent in the lot.  The ones that remain might matter substantially to Sprint, but probably are of low consequence for QCOM or its business prospects.
