Communications semiconductor provider Broadcom has announced that a federal judge has issued an injunction against Qualcomm's continued infringement of three Broadcom patents. As ordered by the US District Court, the injunction prohibits Qualcomm from making, using and selling certain chipsets and software that infringe the three Broadcom patents. The injunction is effective currently and also prohibits Qualcomm from engaging in a broad range of additional activities.
Regarding Broadcom's US patent no. 6,847,686, Qualcomm is prohibited from making, using, selling, offering for sale, and importing 3G WCDMA and EV-DO chips in its 'Enhanced Multimedia' and 'Convergence' platforms, and from developing new WCDMA and EV-DO chips that use Broadcom's patented video processing chip architecture. The sales of infringing WCDMA chips and new infringing EV-DO chips have been enjoined outright, effective immediately.
Regarding Broadcom's US patent no. 5,657,317, the injunction prohibits Qualcomm from making, using, selling, offering for sale, and importing EV-DO chips found to infringe Broadcom's patent, and from developing new EV-DO chips using Broadcom's patented simultaneous network access technology.

Class action or a representative action is a form of lawsuit in which a large group of people collectively bring a claim to court and/or in which a class of defendants is being sued. This form of collective lawsuit originated in the United States and is still predominantly a U.S. phenomenon, at least the U.S. variant of it. In the United States federal courts, class actions are governed by Federal Rules of Civil Procedure Rule. Since 1938, many states have adopted rules similar to the FRCP. However, some states like California have civil procedure systems which deviate significantly from the federal rules; the California Codes provide for four separate types of class actions. As a result, there are two separate treatises devoted solely to the complex topic of California class actions. Some states, such as Virginia, do not provide for any class actions, while others, such as New York, limit the types of claims that may be brought as class actions.
