Qualcomm Incorporated recently announced that it had filed lawsuits with Beijing Intellectual Property Court against Apple for infringement of its patents granted in the past few months, seeking to ban the unlawful manufacture and sale of iPhones in China by Apple. "Apple employs technologies invented by Qualcomm without paying for them", said the spokesman of Qualcomm to Bloomberg News. Qualcomm revealed that the lawsuits are based on three non-standard essential patents covering power management and touchscreen technologies. Apple said they attaches great attention to innovation and are willing to pay reasonable and fair fees for those patented technologies they intend to use. "In our many years of negotiations with Qualcomm, these patents involved have never been discussed", said Apple spokesman. The legal battle between Qualcomm and Apple has lasted for months from January when Apple accused Qualcomm for overcharging phone chip royalties and withheld the contract value of nearly 1 billion dollars to Qualcomm. In responding to Apple's action, Qualcomm initiated ITC investigation against Apple.
