Qualcomm designs chips for smartphones and connectivity, with a model partly built on intellectual property.
Analysis
The dispute with ParkerVision returns to the Florida court after the federal appeals court declared itself without jurisdiction. The opposing side is demanding a jury trial and damages. The amount is modest relative to the group’s size, but the length of proceedings sustains uncertainty.
Opportunity
The opportunity is that the case is ultimately dismissed or settled at limited cost. The risk is mainly reputational and tied to the unpredictability of a jury.
Investor outlook
Neutral outlook. The financial impact is small; the group’s thesis will depend mostly on diversification into automotive, IoT and PCs.
