The United States District Court for the Southern District of California granted Qualcomm’s motion to dismiss a lawsuit brought by Broadcom seeking a declaration that Qualcomm’s patents are exhausted and unenforceable. U.S. District Court Judge William Q. Hayes held that Broadcom failed to show it was entitled to declaratory relief because it did not identify any specific patents which were allegedly exhausted, or an exhaustion triggering sale or license. The court also ruled that Broadcom’s purported injuries were too speculative to support the claims alleged.
