Qualcomm Dismisses "Inaccurate" Patent Complaint

Brussels -- Qualcomm, a U.S.-based mobile technology firm, has come
out swinging against a group of companies that claims Qualcomm is
abusing its patents on 3G technologies to wangle unfair licensing deals.
The group -- which includes Ericsson, Nokia, Texas Instruments,
Broadcom, Panasonic Mobile Communications and NEC -- filed a
complaint with the European Commission last week. Qualcomm denied
the allegations, describing them as "factually inaccurate" and "legally
meritless". "The accusation that Qualcomm has not lived up to its
commitments to standard-setting organisations to license its essential
patents on fair and reasonable terms is belied by the more than 130
licences Qualcomm has granted to a broad range of companies, among
them five of the six reported claimants," the company said.
