Last year China fined Qualcomm $975 million and now is the turn of South Korea. As per reports South Korea’s antitrust regulator slapped a record 1.03 trillion won ($853 million) fine on Qualcomm Inc. for violating antitrust laws.
Charrges:
1. Qualcomm, a holder of standard-essential patents as well as a monopolistic service provider of modem chips from manufacturing to sales, has violated its agreement to license patents on fair reasonable and non-discriminatory terms, known as FRAND.
2. Qualcomm should make standard-essential patents available for separate licensing rather than bundling them with chipset sales.
