Qualcomm fights $647 million UK lawsuit over smartphone chip royalties
LONDON: Qualcomm is fighting a 480 million-pound ($646.8 million) London lawsuit brought on behalf of smartphone owners, which alleges the chipmaker has abused its dominant position to force Apple and Samsung to pay inflated royalties.
A British consumers’ association that goes by the name of Which? is bringing the case and its lawyers say around 29 million people who bought iPhones or Samsung devices since 2015 are entitled to compensation.
