Judge dismisses Broadcom patent lawsuit against Qualcomm, Broadcom keeps on suing

Broadcom has seen quite a few legal victories in its ongoing battle with Qualcomm, but it was dealt a bit of a setback on Friday when U.S. District Court Judge William Hayes shot down one of its most recent lawsuits. Apparently, Broadcom wasn't quite specific enough about the patents it was suing over this time around, which is something Qualcomm has been complaining about as far back as November, saying at that time that Broadcam has failed "to specify a single device, a single patent, a single license, or a single sale." All is not lost for Broadcom, however, as it just so happens to have a separate lawsuit against Qualcomm pending at the very same district court. Not surprisingly, Broadcom also says that intends to refile the rejected lawsuit "within two weeks," while Qualcomm apparently plans to continue banging its head against a wall.
