We have been talking about the legal confrontation between Apple and Qualcomm, the firm that manufactures the popular Snapdragon processors has been involved in a major scandal regarding alleged charges for patents that did not belong to it, at least that is how Apple's legal team uncovered it while from Qualcomm they limited themselves to launching cross accusations that They have not done well in the technology sector.
If the other day we were talking about how things were getting complicated for Qualcomm due to full input from Foxconn and other major manufacturers, things have improved more if possible for some, and worsened unexpectedly for others. Large firms in the technology sphere have joined Apple in the legal war against Qualcomm.
If you ever wondered about what we would get Apple, Microsoft, Google and Samsung to row in unison, we have already found it, Mr. Don Dinero. More specifically, the demand is joined by the one known as The Computer & Communications Industry Association (CCIA), formed among others by the named companies, eBay and Netflix. In this way, they pretend for the feet to the well-known measures of Qualcomm to liquidate the competition and completely dominate a market in which under normal circumstances they are unrivaled.
Qualcomm is taking advantage of its dominant position in the market to pressure its competitors through royalties on the most competitive products. It is necessary that the antitrust organizations guarantee the correct use of these practices. A clear example is the way they are dealing with their conflict with Apple, and all this results in a higher price to pay by consumers.
This legal battle that we have been constantly following for many weeks it has an estimated value of $ 1.000 billion.
