Texas Court Dismisses Antitrust Suit Against Qualcomm

TMCnet Web Editor
 
Qualcomm (News - Alert) Inc. has announced that the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas has dismissed an antitrust complaint by Golden Bridge Technology Inc. (GBT) against the company and co-defendants Ericsson, Lucent (now Alcatel), Motorola, Nokia (News - Alert), NTT Docomo, and Panasonic.


 
 Filed May 2005, the complaint alleged that the defendants had conspired to exclude GBT's technology from a wireless industry standard adopted by a number of standard-setting organizations under the auspices of the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). The court determined that there is no evidence Qualcomm or the other defendants did anything improper.


 
It is unknown whether GBT plans to appeal.
 
Earlier today, Qualcomm announced the dismissal of several claims and counterclaims related to an ongoing patent dispute with Broadcom.
