https://www.wired.com/story/apple-qualcomm-end-legal-beef-drop-lawsuits/ > The convoluted legal battle between Apple and chipmaker Qualcomm may be coming to an end. The companies said Tuesday that they're dismissing all litigation against each other. Apple will pay Qualcomm an undisclosed sum as part of the settlement, which includes a six-year licensing agreement between the two. > The settlement also covers suits brought by Apple's manufacturing partners, which wanted Qualcomm to repay $9 billion—a number that reportedly could have been tripled under antitrust law—that they say the chipmaker overcharged them for patent royalties.
