A U.S. federal judge has clamped further restrictions on Qualcomm&#39;s ability to sell and support certain wireless chip sets, saying that they infringe on three patents held by rival Broadcom.The injunction, issued Monday by U.S. District Court Judge James Selna, prohibits Qualcomm from making and selling certain third generation (3G) chip sets, used to provide Internet access to mobile phones. Qualcomm is also barred from engaging in a range of marketing and customer support activities related to its WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) and EV-DO (EVolution-Data Only) chips, which are used to process data on high-speed wireless networks.The ruling is the latest in a series of actions in the long-running dispute between the two chip vendors. In July, the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC)&#160;ruled that Qualcomm infringed Broadcom patents&#160;and barred Qualcomm from importing chips to the U.S., but the Commission allowed mobile phone vendors to ship the chips in their products.&quot;The ITC order did not go nearly as far in prohibiting other activities from Qualcomm,&quot; said David Rosmann, vice president of intellectual property litigation with Broadcom. &quot;The U.S. District Court order has in some respects much broader remedies. So the activities that are going to be barred by this injunction go a long way to&#160;stopping Qualcomm&#39;s continued operations&#160;in support of these infringing chips.&quot;Broadcom sued Qualcomm in May 2005, claiming that Qualcomm&#39;s chips violated three of the company&#39;s patents. In May of this year, a&#160;jury found in Broadcom&#39;s favor&#160;and awarded the company $19.6 million in damages. Monday&#39;s injunction stems from that decision.Broadcom is also suing Qualcomm on other patent infringement and antitrust claims, Rosmann said. The antitrust case is expected to go to trial in 2009.Qualcomm executives could not be reached immediately for comment.

Qualcomm is shipping four new wireless chip sets that do not infringe on a video encoding patent held by competitor Broadcom. Qualcomm expects the WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) handsets containing the chips to go on sale in the U.S. by April, it said Wednesday.The announcement comes two days after a&#160;U.S. federal judge issued an injunction&#160;that stops Qualcomm from selling some wireless chipsets found to infringe on the Broadcom patent.Under a special provision of the injunction, Qualcomm can continue to use Broadcom&#39;s patented technology in some existing QChat push-to-talk and 1xEV-DO (Evolution-Data Only) products through Jan. 31, 2009, as long as it pays royalties to Broadcom. New products, or existing products sold to new customers, are not covered by the automatic license.Qualcomm is still developing workarounds for&#160;infringing technology included in the QChat and 1xEV-DO products, it said.Broadcom won a patent infringement suit against Qualcomm&#160;in May and was awarded $19.6 million in damages. However, Broadcom said the injunction -- which only applies to chip sets sold in the U.S. -- was far more important than the money.Monday&#39;s injunction, issued in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California, also prohibits Qualcomm from some marketing and customer support activities related to WCDMA and EV-DO chips.Qualcomm said it still wants further clarification on some aspects of the injunction, saying it could affect the company&#39;s product development. The company said it is also considering filing an appeal or for a stay of the injunction.The two companies still have other patent infringement and antitrust claims pending.&#160;
