SAN DIEGO, Aug. 23, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Qualcomm
Incorporated (NASDAQ: QCOM) today announced that the United States Court of Appeals for the
Ninth Circuit granted in its entirety Qualcomm's request for a
partial stay, pending appeal, of an injunction from the U.S.
District Court for the Northern District of California. In addition, the Court ordered
oral argument on our expedited appeal to be set in January
2020.
"We are pleased that the Ninth Circuit granted our request and
believe the district court decision will be overturned once the
merits of our appeal have been considered," said Don Rosenberg, executive vice president and
general counsel for Qualcomm. "The stay, which remains in effect
through the course of the appeals process, keeps intact Qualcomm's
patent-licensing practices. This will allow Qualcomm to continue to
invest in inventing the fundamental technologies at the heart of
mobile communications at this critical time of transition to
5G."
