EU planning anti-trust case against Samsung; Apple appeals Koh’s ruling on a sales ban
Samsung's shares have dropped more than 4% on Friday morning in Seoul, the largest decline in four months, following news that the EU plans on filing an anti-trust complaint against the Korean based manufacturer. According to the EU, it is investigating whether Samsung failed to license its standards-essential patents at a reasonable price to its competitors, something that the company is supposed to do under terms of the FRAND regulations that have been agreed to by the mobile phone industry. Earlier this week, Samsung agreed to withdraw its request for the banning in the EU of certain Apple models, but EU’s competition commissioner Joaquin Almunia said that he will continue to investigate whether Samsung's threat of legal action harmed others in the industry. Samsung said that it is fully cooperating with the EU. For the "interest of protecting consumer choice," Samsung dropped its request for a permanent injunction on Apple devices in Germany, U.K., France, Italy and the … [Read more...] about EU planning anti-trust case against Samsung; Apple appeals Koh’s ruling on a sales ban

Qualcomm fined $1.2 billion by the EU for paying off Apple
Qualcomm has been hit by a fine of €997 million ($1.2 billion) from the European Union for violating antitrust laws in a series of deals with Apple. The US chipmaker is accused of paying the iPhone-maker billions of dollars between 2011 and 2016 to exclusively use its 4G chips in the iPhone and iPad. “This meant that no rival could effectively challenge Qualcomm in this market, no matter how good their products were,” said EU competition commissioner Margrethe Vestager in a press statement. “This is illegal under EU antitrust rules and why we have taken today’s decision.” Speaking at a press conference in Brussels, Vestager said that Qualcomm’s actions had shut out rival Intel, which makes its own 4G chips. “It would have cost Apple a lot of money” to switch suppliers while the deal was in place, said Vestager. Apple began using Intel’s modems in its iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus devices just before its agreement with Qualcomm … [Read more...] about Qualcomm fined $1.2 billion by the EU for paying off Apple
