Qualcomm licensing found to violate Korean competition law

2015-11-18 09:00:00| Telecompaper Headlines

(Telecompaper) The Korea Fair Trade Commission has started an investigation into Qualcomm's licensing practices. Qualcomm said it received the Case Examiner's Report with allegations and will prepare a response. The report alleges, among other things, that Qualcomm does not properly negotiate aspects of its licences, and that its practice of licensing patents only at the device level and requiring that chip customers be licensed to its intellectual property violate Korean competition law. The report proposes remedies including modifications to certain business practices and monetary penalties. Qualcomm said the allegations in the report are "not supported by the facts and are a serious misapplication of law". Its patent licensing practices, used for almost two decades, "are lawful and pro-competitive", the company added. The group said it will mount a defense at the Commission hearings in the hope that the Commission will reject the conclusions of the Examiner's Report.
