UK High Court Makes Finding of Invalidity in Qualcomm's 2G Patent Dispute with Nokia

San Diego (ots/PRNewswire) -

Qualcomm Incorporated (Nasdaq: QCOM), a leading developer and
innovator of advanced wireless technologies and data solutions, today
announced that the United Kingdom (UK) High Court has handed down
judgment in a case filed by Qualcomm against Nokia in May 2006. The
case involves Nokia's GSM/GPRS/EDGE-only handsets (i.e.,
GSM/GPRS/EDGE handsets that do not also implement WCDMA) and two of
Qualcomm's patents that cover certain power saving and power control
technologies. The UK High Court ruled that, although the Nokia
accused products included the patented technologies, the power saving
patent is invalid and that the power control patent is partially
valid but, insofar as it is valid, is not infringed by Nokia.
Qualcomm is actively considering whether to seek permission from the
UK court to amend the patents and appeal the decision.

The issues in the UK case are not included in the recent
consolidation in Delaware. The UK action is limited to Nokia's
GSM/GPRS/EDGE products and does not address the need for Nokia to
license Qualcomm's patents for Nokia's WCDMA products.
