DALLAS-Texas Instruments Inc. said it has filed a lawsuit asking the court to order Qualcomm Inc. to abide by the terms of a cross-licensing agreement between both companies.
The lawsuit filed at the Delaware Chancery Court also wants an injunction to prohibit Qualcomm from “making false or misleading statements about the parties’ respective rights and obligations.”
“We brought this action,” said TI senior vice president and general counsel Joseph F. Hubach, “because we have reports that Qualcomm is offering handset royalty discounts to handset manufacturers only if they purchase CDMA chipsets from Qualcomm.”
