These three infringing patents support different functions of smart phones. U.S. Pat. No.8,838,949 realizes the startup of No.8 flash memory, eliminating the cost and space occupied by a single flash memory. U.S. Pat. No.9,535,490 can quickly connect to the Internet after the smart phone is turned on, and can act as an intelligent traffic policeman between the application processor and the modulator. U.S. Pat. No.8,633,936 can quickly and effectively obtain data from the Internet, provide high performance and rich visual graphics for games, and increase the life of smart phones. These patents are not modern processors, nor are they necessary to realize cellular standards.
Tang Senberg, chief legal counsel of Qualcomm Quantity, said in a statement: The technology invented by Qualcomm Quantity and other companies enabled Apple to enter the market quickly and achieve such great success. We are glad that courts around the world have rejected Apple's strategy of using our intellectual property rights to pay for it.
Apple issued a statement saying that the company was disappointed with the verdict. The amount of patent infringement claims in Qualcomm is only to divert people's attention from the bigger problems brought about by the investigation of business practices in the US federal courts and around the world.
