Logo and Trademark..............................
Qualcomm (NASDAQ: QCOM) is a wireless telecommunications research and development company based in San Diego, California. Qualcomm was founded in 1985 by Irwin Jacobs (the company's current chairman) and Andrew Viterbi, who previously founded Linkabit. Qualcomm's first products and services included the OmniTRACS satellite locating and messaging service, used by long-haul trucking companies, and specialized integrated circuits for digital radio communications such as a Viterbi decoder.
Qualcomm then began to manufacture CDMA cell phones, base stations, and chips. The first CDMA techology was standardized as IS-95. Qualcomm has since developed newer variations on the same theme, including IS-2000 and 1xEV-DO (IS-856). It formerly manufactured both CDMA cell phones and CDMA base station equipment. Qualcomm sold its base station business to Ericsson and its cell phone manufacturing to Kyocera, and has focused on developing and licensing wireless technologies and selling ASICs that implement them.
Qualcomm also participated in the development of the Globalstar satellite system (along with Loral Space & Communications) and partnered with Technicolor to develop a digital cinema system. It developed BREW (Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless), a proprietary platform for cell phones. It also maintains and sells the Eudora email program.
In 1997, Qualcomm paid $18 million for the naming rights to the Jack Murphy Stadium in San Diego, renaming it to Qualcomm Stadium. The naming rights will belong to Qualcomm until 2017. In October 2004, Qualcomm acquired Trigenix Ltd, a mobile UI software developer, based in Cambridge, UK. After integrating their products, Qualcomm re-branded it uiOne.
Since April 2006, a dispute between Reliance Communication and Qualcomm over royalty fees has cost Qualcomm approximately $11.7b in market capitalization. In July 2007, Reliance and Qualcomm decided to bury the hatchet and agreed to expand the use of CDMA technology in India.
In June 2007, the U.S. International Trade Commission blocked the import of new cell phone models based on particular Qualcomm microchips. They found that these Qualcomm microchips infringe patents owned by Broadcom. Broadcom has also initiated patent litigation in U.S. courts over this issue.
At issue is software designed to extend battery life in chips while users make out-of-network calls. In October, an ITC administrative judge made an initial ruling that Qualcomm violated the Broadcom patent covering that feature and the commission later affirmed the decision. Sprint Nextel Corp. is using a software patch from Qualcomm to get around a U.S. government agency ban on new phones with Qualcomm chips.
In August 2007, Judge Rudi Brewster held that Qualcomm had engaged in litigation misconduct by withholding relevant documents during the lawsuit it brought against Broadcom and that Qualcomm employees had lied about their involvement.
