Qualcomm patent struck as invalid during legal battle with Apple may be reinstated

02 February 2022
Apple argued that prior art made the patent invalid and the Patent Trial and Appeal Board agreed, but now it is having second thoughts.

In fact, that isn't even being rich. It is a stock market valuation. Those often have little to do with anything other than traders thinking in herds.

Apple is plenty capable of making egregiously stupid claims, such as when Steve Jobs claimed to own the idea of rounded corners.

    Yes, "theoretically" they could use those trillions to build their infrastructure. But hell no, they won't do that, they love their money so much that they won't even use it, they got the smallest R&D/revenue ratio among big tech companies.

      Oh and yeah, they can definitely build their own network infrastructure... because the word trillion allows that.

Of course, if Apple doesn't like that they can get a modem from someone else. The Samsung modem in the Google Pixel 6 supports US bands including mmwave. MediaTek and Huawei also makes modems. US's insufferable politics is giving rise to these nonsensical lawsuits which could have been avoided altogether.

              2 despicable companies. May they both lose.

                  China has the right attitude when it comes to patents.

                  Also, Apple is in the wrong. They copy and steal and bully others while acting like they are wronged. They can't manufacture a single phone by themselves.

                    Foolish greedy companies, no one is better then others. The circus will continue in different arenas for our stupid support money.

                    The most tragic with those fights is, its always American firms... I guees they learn from the best, their own government.

                    This is one of the reasons i hate to support those firms.

It isn't easy to differentiate infridgement from fair use, but serious infridgement is basically like stealing intellectual property (ip), so these are definitely not unreasonable requests imho.
