Apple and Qualcomm’s legal dispute seems to be intensifying with each passing week. With no sign of a settlement agreement on the horizon, Qualcomm remains intent on turning up the pressure on Apple. Just a few days after the company secured an injunction against older iPhone models in China, the Financial Times reports that the company is now looking to secure a new injunction which would prevent Apple from selling the iPhone XR, XS, and XS Max in China.
In a statement provided to the Financial Times, an attorney for Qualcomm relayed that the company plans to wield the same patent that formed the basis for the original injunction. Interestingly enough, that patent involves how one manipulates a photo via a touchscreen. While that technology literally has nothing to do with the core issues of the dispute, it’s not uncommon to see tech giants involved in complex litigation assert all sorts of infringement claims as a means to assert more pressure on the opposing party.
