Qualcomm has made another move in the latest legal fight with Apple, in which it is trying to ban some iPhone models from being sold in the United States. The company filed a suit alleging that Apple was infringing on six patents that aided iPhone battery life.
The complaint is being filed with the US International Trade Commission (ITC) and US District Court. Qualcomm expects that the ITC investigation will commence in August and that the case will be tried next year.
The patents involved include the following:
- US Patent 8698558 (issued 2014) which extends battery life by offering intelligent antenna power management
- US Patent 8838949 (issued 2014) which helps a phone connect to the network at first boot US Patent 8633936 (issued 2014) which allows for graphics intensive applications to use less battery power
- US Patent 9535490 (issued 2017) which monitors and manages network traffic to and from applications
- US Patent 9608675 (issued 2017) which aggregates multiple streams into a single "data super-highway"
- US Patent 8487658 (issued 2013) which uses more efficient power interfacing for both high and low voltage circuits
