Following L M Ericsson Telefon AB’s insistence that claims made by Qualcomm Inc, accusing the company of patent infringement were completely without merit (CI No 3,066), the companies have come to an agreement in the Federal Court, San Diego. Ericsson will conform to a seven month term of agreement that states neither it or its affiliates will make, sell, offer to sell, use, import or commercially introduce any CDMA products or equipment into the US unless it gives Qualcomm 30 days notice, or it has first been licensed by Qualcomm. Qualcomm is also at loggerheads with Motorola Inc (CI No 3,149) who accuses Qualcomm of patent infringement, and US Philips Corp (CI No 3,168).
