Broadcom Corporation, a provider of wired and wireless broadband communications semiconductors, announced that it has commenced federal litigation against Qualcomm Incorporated alleging that the San Diego-based company infringes 10 Broadcom patents related to wired and wireless communications and multimedia processing technologies. "Broadcom was an early pioneer in a broad range of wired and wireless communications and multimedia technologies, and has enabled the convergence of digital video, digital audio, Wi-Fi(R), Bluetooth(R), storage, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), and adaptive coding technologies in many markets, including advanced, multi-function cellular products and services," said Scott McGregor, Broadcom's President and CEO. "We believe that Qualcomm's current and next generation cellular baseband and radio frequency (RF) product lines infringe a number of our patents."
