German Court Dismisses Qualcomm Lawsuit vs Apple

The Mannheim regional court dismissed this week a lawsuit by chipmaker Qualcomm against Apple, saying that it was groundless as the patent involved was not violated by the installation of its chips in Apple’s smartphones.

In its statement, Apple said that Qualcomm had been using the courts to divert attention from their illegal activities which is the subject of multiple lawsuits and proceedings around the world.

Qualcomm, which is engaged in a worldwide patent battle with Apple, said that it would appeal the decision and continue to enforce its intellectual property rights against the iPhone maker.
