Probably. But it's a pretty complex situation.
Firstly, any action like that would take years to be finalised even if Apple didn't appeal the ruling.
Secondly, a court wouldn't likely hear any case if legal action that could effect the outcome was lodged prior, and still pending.
For example, if somehow Qualcomm did get a sales injunction BEFORE Apple's case was decided, then Apple wins it's case, they could then go to court AGAIN and sue for damages. A cluster fk for sure.
If QC loses, then they'll obviously never be able to get an injunction.
Considering BlackBerry won nearly a billion, I guess Apple should win their $1B case too.
If they lose, I'm sure there will be some retaliation from QC, wether it's increased royalties or damages for loss of reputation etc.
Messy for sure, and I'm really 50/50 on this.
Companies should be able to charge what they want, but at the same time, as a business owner, I wouldn't feel right jacking up the price when I see someone in a Ferrari pull up.
