Broadcom in talks about new designs
From Times Wire Services
Irvine-based chip maker Broadcom Corp. has been in talks with cellphone makers about new designs since winning a patent dispute with rival Qualcomm Inc., Chief Executive Scott McGregor said.
The U.S. International Trade Commission on June 7 banned the import of some phones after finding that Qualcomm’s newest chips infringe a Broadcom patent for a battery-saving feature. The ban could mean wireless carriers won’t be able to offer the newest phones for Christmas.
