Love to play computer games On March 5, it was reported by foreign media that Qualcomm and Apple will have many court hearing arrangements in the coming weeks. On March 26, the International Trade Commission (ITC) of the United States will decide whether to impose sales and import bans on certain iPhone models.

A judge of the International Trade Commission (ITC) has ruled that Apple infringed a patent of Qualcomm, but decided not to ban the sale of iPhones. He believes that the ban will affect the modem (baseband) market. The committee will make a final decision in about three weeks.

Next month, Apple and Qualcomm will sue in the United States federal court for the $1 billion patent royalties. Apple said that the patent fees charged by Qualcomm have nothing to do with chip manufacturing, so this is "unfair". For example, if your iPhone is broken and needs to be returned to Foxconn for repair, Qualcomm will charge 5% of the repair fee to the contract manufacturer. Even if the repaired parts have nothing to do with Qualcomm, Qualcomm will ask for such a high patent fee.

Before the patent war in April, Qualcomm and Apple recently held an 8-day trial in San Diego. According to Reuters, Qualcomm accused Apple of infringing one of his patents, which involves the quick startup of smart phones and, in some cases, the extension of battery life. From the middle of 2017 to the autumn of 2018, Apple will have to pay a compensation of $1.41 to Qualcomm for every iPhone that uses this patent.

Gao said that half of the iPhones sold during the above period used Intel's modems, which also violated Qualcomm's patents.
