Does Qualcomm police it's IP at all?

Traditionally they've been known as a tech company that employs more lawyers than engineers, if that tells you anything.

I'd probably go up against IBM or Oracle before I tugged on Qualcomm's cape. Good luck to ARM, they'll need it.




I am an ex Qualcomm employee. We often called ourselves a law firm with a tech problem. QC doesn't actually have more lawyers than engineers, but I'd not be surprised if the legal department got paid more than all the engineers combined.


Oracle v Qualcomm would be epic.


The public will likely be the loser of such a battle. :-(


Not if they end up cancelling each other's patents. :)
