Broadcom takes Qualcomm to court again - claims continued patent infringement

That federal judge may have saved Qualcomm from having to pony-up almost $40 million to Broadcom - you know, that patent infringement case that was made so famous by the ITC’s ban of Qualcomm’s mobile chipsets - but Broadcom’s not going to take it lying down. Broadcom is claiming that Qualcomm’s “workaround” is still infringing on Broadcom patents. The “workaround” was intended to allow Qualcomm to circumvent Broadcom’s technology and continue to offer mobile chipsets in the US. Alas, Broadcom has taken its case to the ITC again and is crying foul. They claim that Qualcomm’s alleged “workaround” doesn’t do anything to work-around Broadcom’s technology. The case has been handed to an administrative law judge, so we’ll be seeing more of the same Qualcomm v. Broadcom battling that we’ve all grown soo damned tired of.
