Activists put pressure on QCOM to spin out QCT

Qualcomm's reaction:

“Our innovations have made smartphones the most pervasive technology of our time. They come to market through our inclusive licensing program and our cutting-edge chipsets and continue to play an integral role in the expansion of the mobile industry. We are now bringing the benefits of mobile technologies to new areas such as automotive, healthcare, networking, smart homes, smart cities, and wearables among others.”

I think you're using the phrase "patent troll" incorrectly here 🙂

Seriously, didn't Qualcomm pioneer the use of CDMA? I imagine that's where the royalties are coming from, and it's probably deserved.

Samsung would be the natural suitor here.
