SAN DIEGO, Jan. 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- "While we are
still in the process of reviewing the complaint in detail, it is
quite clear that Apple's claims are baseless. Apple has
intentionally mischaracterized our agreements and negotiations, as
well as the enormity and value of the technology we have invented,
contributed and shared with all mobile device makers through our
licensing program. Apple has been actively encouraging regulatory
attacks on Qualcomm's business in various jurisdictions around the
world, as reflected in the recent KFTC decision and FTC complaint,
by misrepresenting facts and withholding information. We welcome
the opportunity to have these meritless claims heard in court where
we will be entitled to full discovery of Apple's practices and a
robust examination of the merits," said Don
Rosenberg, executive vice president and general counsel,
Qualcomm Incorporated.
