Apple has filed a lawsuit against Qualcomm in California today, claiming damages around $1 billion. The damages stem from what Apple claims are rebate payments Qualcomm refused to pay. Specifically, Apple alleges Qualcomm withheld the payments after the iPhone-maker began to cooperate with Korea authorities who later fined Qualcomm $850 million in an antitrust investigation.
Earlier this week, the FTC filed suit against Qualcomm for anti-competitive practices. Apple seems to have taken the federal government’s action as a “green light” to litigate, specifically citing what it believes are unfairly high royalties charged by Qualcomm for its cellular technology patents.
On heels of FTC suit, Apple is now suing Qualcomm for $1 billion, alleges unfair licensing practices was written by the awesome team at Android Police.
