Broadcom May Pursue Its Qualcomm Claim

Broadcom Corp. may pursue a dismissed antitrust complaint against Qualcomm Inc., the world’s second-largest maker of chips for wireless phones.

Broadcom cited a Federal Trade Commission decision recently against Rambus Inc. that it said conflicted with the ruling by U.S. District Judge Mary Cooper, who dismissed the Qualcomm case. Irvine-based Broadcom, a maker of semiconductors used in communications, said it might appeal the judge’s ruling or file an amended complaint.
