EU antitrust regulators are no longer looking into Qualcomm’s patent licensing deals
According to an online publication called Reuters, the European Union antitrust regulators have decided to discontinue its investigation into U.S. chipmaker Qualcomm’s patent licensing deals.
It’s believed that the European Commission has been “looking into rebates and financial incentives offered by Qualcomm since 2010 to check if it was using these in breach of EU rules to discourage customers from switching to rivals.”
However, the EU have opted not to delve deeper into Qualcomm’s patent application as it hasn’t found any evidence of possible abuse regarding the licensing of standard essential patents.
