Qualcomm used unlawful, anticompetitive practices to license patents for modems used in mobile phones, a judge ruled in a case in the US.

In a detailed, 230-page ruling on the case brought by the Federal Trade Commission, U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh laid out a list of practices that she said used Qualcomm's dominant position in the market to squeeze rivals out of contracts and force mobile phone makers to pay more for its patents. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission filed the lawsuit in 2017, accusing the chipmaker of"anticompetitive" tactics, mirroring similar antitrust claims made by iPhone maker Apple.a surprise settlement last month that called for the iPhone to once again use Qualcomm modem chips, ditching supplier Intel Corp.
Qualcomm, which did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment, makes cellphone processors and modem chips, but generates most of its profits by licensing its technology to mobile phone makers.
