1 INTRODUCTION
2 Plaintiff brings this motion for
3 preliminary injunctive relief to prevent the irreparable harm it otherwise would
4
5 Apple has instructed Defendants to stop paying billions of dollars in
6 royalties to Qualcomm. Qualcomm is highly likely to succeed on the merits of its
7 claims against Defendants, and the preliminary relief that Qualcomm seeks is
8 nothing more than maintaining the long-standing status quo. Moreover, without
9 preliminary relief, Qualcomm will suffer irreparable harm, including (i) ongoing,
10 indefinite non-payment of very large amounts of royalties; (ii) injury to its core
11 licensing business, including loss of goodwill and harm to its commercial
12 relationships with other licensees; (iii) less cash on hand for ongoing research and
13 development; and (iv) the risk of an unenforceable judgment against foreign
14 Defendants. On the other hand, Defendants face no hardship from preliminary
15 relief they agreed many years ago to precisely the relief that Qualcomm now
16 seeks, and Apple will indemnify them for any payments they are ordered to make.
17 The balance of hardships weigh
18 Qualcomm is the leading innovator in cellular communications and
19 other advanced mobile technologies. For nearly three decades, Qualcomm has
20 created and brought to market core technologies that enable 2G, 3G, and 4G
21 systems and smartphones and is now leading the industry to 5G. Qualcomm owns
22 luable patent portfolios, including thousands of patents
23 that are technically essential to various cellular standards (cellular standard-
24 essential patents, or ). Qualcomm also owns thousands of patents that,
25 while not technically essential to any cellular standard, are essential to other
26 industry standards ( non-cellular SEPs ) or are not technically essential to any
27 industry standard (non-standard- ) but are highly

8 For many years, the above-described arrangement worked well. Apple paid
9 Defendants the royalties owed to Qualcomm on Apple devices, and Defendants
10 remitted those payments to Qualcomm. Defendants consistently paid royalties to
11 Qualcomm each quarter for Apple products (and non-Apple products).

1 continue to pay Qualcomm royalties for non-Apple devices today, under the very
2 same license agreements that govern the Apple products.
3 Qualcomm is in an untenable position. Defendants are manufacturing and
4 selling Apple devices using Qualcomms patents under a valid license; Apple is
5 making extraordinary profits selling those Qualcomm-enabled devices to
6 consumers; meanwhile, Qualcomm is receiving no royalties for the use of its
7 patented technology in those Apple devices; and
8

10 That harm will continue indefinitely. Qualcomms core business operations
11 will suffer ongoing injury, and its licensing business may be called into question
12 as Apple takes a free ride while other licensees watch. Situations like this are why
13 courts have equitable powers. The proper remedy is to maintain the status quo by
14 immediately enjoining Defendants from violating the terms and conditions of their
15 license agreements during the pendency of this litigation.
16 FACTUAL BACKGROUND
17 A. The Parties and Their Contractual Relationships.
18 Since its founding in 1985, Qualcomm has been designing, developing,
19 and improving cellular communications systems, networks, and products
20 successfully inventing numerous core technologies that have transformed how the
21 world communicates. Qualcomm invented technologies at the heart of 2G, 3G
22 and 4G cellular communications, and is leading the industry to 5G. Every modern
23 cell phone relies upon important Qualcomm technology and practices numerous
24 Qualcomm patents.
25 Qualcomm has invested more than $43 billion in research and development.
26 From 2010 to the present, Qualcomm consistently spent more than 20% of its
27 revenue per year on R&D; in 2016 alone, Qualcomm spent $5 billion on R&D.

1 (Ex. 31 at 14.) Qualcomm now owns more than 130,000 issued patents and patent
2 applications relating to cellular and other advanced technologies, including
3 thousands of cellular and non-cellular SEPs and NEPs. Qualcomm voluntarily
4 licensed its patents to device manufacturers, including Defendants.
5 Separate from licensing business, Qualcomm Technologies,

9 Each Defendant1 like virtually every other major cellular device
10 manufacturer in the world has a royalty-bearing license agreement with
11 Qualcomm. (Lavely Decl. s ) 1-5.) Defendants have enjoyed the
12 benefits of, and have paid royalties under, those agreements for many years now:
13 Compal for nearly 15 years; Foxconn for more than 11 years; Pegatron for nearly
14 7 years; and Wistron for more than 3 years. (Samimi Decl. 9-12.)

18 and sell certain cellular devices that practice certain Qualcomm intellectual
19 property, including thousands of Qualcomm cellular and non-cellular SEPs and
20 NEPs. (Exs. 1-2, 4-5 1, 5.) In exchange for the right to use
21 intellectual property, each Defendant agrees to pay royalties to Qualcomm on each
22 device it sells. Specifically,

3 Following execution of their respective license agreements, Defendants
4 began manufacturing cellular devices under the agreements for many of the
5 suppliers of wireless handsets and tablets, including
6 . Each Defendant manufactured non-Apple products before manufacturing
7 Apple products. (Samimi Decl. 9-12.) Compal, for example, manufactured
8 (and paid royalties on) non-Apple products for 12 years before manufacturing
9 Apple products. (Id. 9.) The material terms of the license agreements remained
10 consistent before and after Apple became a customer. (Id. 13.)
11 Apple was a late-comer to the cellular industry. In 2008, Apple released its
12 first 3G iPhone, which used a cellular patented
13 technologies. Apple did not take a direct license from Qualcomm. Instead, Apple
14 outsourced the manufacturing of its iPhones and iPads to Defendants, relying on
15 their existing license agreements with Qualcomm. (Rogers Decl. 6.) Foxconn
16 began manufacturing iPhones (and later iPads) for Apple in 2007; Pegatron began
17 manufacturing iPhones for Apple in 2011; and both Wistron and Compal began
18 manufacturing Apple devices (iPhones by Wistron; iPads by Compal) in 2014.
19 (Samimi Decl. 8-11.) Today, Defendants manufacture virtually every iPhone
20 and iPad worldwide, as well as many non-Apple devices.
21 Apple first began procuring Qualcomm chips and licensing associated
22 software for use in its fourth-generation iPhone, released in 2011. Qualcomm
23 faced fierce competition for those (and later) sales. Taking advantage of that
24 competition, in 2015,

4 For many years, until the fourth quarter of 2016, each Defendant
5 consistently paid royalties under its license agreement. (Samimi Decl. 15.) For
6 Apple devices, Defendants received payments from Apple and, in turn, paid the
7 royalties due to Qualcomm. Based on this lengthy course of dealing, Defendants
8 and Apple know that Defendan royalty payments to

10 without protest, they have acknowledged the validity of those obligations.

12 On January 20, 2017, Apple sued Qualcomm in this Court. In rapid
13 succession, Apple then filed other lawsuits against Qualcomm in the United
14 Kingdom, China, Japan, and Taiwan.
15 In its January 20 complaint, Apple the wealthiest company in the world,
16 with a quarter of a trillion dollars in cash reserves claimed that
17 from Defendants a substantial portion of Q4 2016

19 withholding from Defendants the exact amount it claims Qualcomm owes under
20 the Cooperation Agreement. Apple paid to Defendants the amounts owed in
21 royalties for Q4 2016 sales that exceeded the amount that Apple claims it is owed
22 by Qualcomm under the Cooperation Agreement. (Samimi Decl. 16.) In other

4 513-14 n.1 (9th Cir. 2009) (internal citations and quotation marks omitted).
5 II. Qualcomm Is Highly Likely to Succeed on the Merits.
6 Defendants are refusing to pay billions of dollars in royalties that they admit
7 they owe under their license agreements. That is a classic breach of contract.
8 Qualcomm can readily prove (i) the license agreements are valid contracts;
9 (ii) Qualcomm performed its obligations; (iii) Defendants breached; and
10 (iv) Qualcomm suffered injury as a result. Lansmont Corp. v. SPX Corp.,
11 No. 5:10-CV-05860 EJD, 2012 WL 6096674, at *3 (N.D. Cal. Dec. 7, 2012).
12 Qualcomm is highly likely to succeed on the merits of its claims.
13 A. Qualcomm Has a Valid Contract with Each Defendant.
14 Each Defendant has a valid and enforceable license agreement with
15 Qualcomm. (Exs. 1-5.) For many years, Defendants paid Qualcomm royalties
16 under the terms of those license agreements. (Samimi Decl. 9-12, 15.) In fact,
17 Defendants continue to pay royalties under the terms of those license agreements
18 for non-Apple products. (Id. 15-19, 21-25.) That long (and continuing) course
19 of dealing proves the validity of the contracts. E.g., Marin Storage & Trucking,
20 g, Inc., 107 Cal. Rptr. 2d 645, 651 (Ct. App.
21 2001) ( By its conduct in paying the invoices generated from the Work
22 Authorization and Contract forms, Benco acknowledged the existence of a
23 contract. Defendants do not contest the validity and enforceability of the
24 contracts, admitting instead that they are following the instructions of their largest
25 and most powerful customer Apple.
26 B. Defendants Have Breached Their License Agreements.
27 Defendants are required to pay Qualcomm royalties on a quarterly basis.

1 (Exs. 1-2, 4-5 5.) For Q4 2016 sales, according to their own royalty reports,
2 Foxconn withheld more than in royalties; Pegatron withheld more
3 than in royalties; and Wistron withheld more than in
4 royalties. (Samimi Decl. 17-19.)
5 failed to pay any royalties to Qualcomm on Apple devices sold during
6 Q1 2017. (Id. 23-25.) And, on Compal followed suit.
7 (Id. 22.) Collectively, Defendants admit (based on their own royalty reports)
8 that approximately in royalties are due but not paid on Apple
9 products for Q1 2017. (Id. 22-25; Exs. 17, 20-22, 24.) Defendants and Apple
10 have made plain that they will continue withholding royalties on Apple devices
11 indefinitely. (Samimi Decl. 21-23; Ex. 16, 18-19, 23, 25.)
12 Defendants have breached by not paying royalties on Apple products.
13 That is clear under the contracts, and is further demonstrated by
14 long history of full payment on all reported sales, their partial payment on sales of
15 Apple devices in Q4 2016, and their continued full payment for non-Apple
16 devices. See Rosendahl Corp. v. H. K. Ferguson Co., 27 Cal. Rptr. 56, 58 (Ct.
17 App. 1962)
18 to be bound by contract terms).
19 C. Qualcomm Has Performed Its Obligations.
20 Qualcomm has performed its obligations under the license agreements.
21 Qualcomm granted Defendants licenses to use certain of its intellectual property in
22 exchange for royalty payments. And Qualcomm has not sued Defendants or their
23 customers for using the intellectual property covered by the agreements. No
24 Defendant has ch
25 D. Qualcomm Is Entitled to Specific Performance.
26 To obtain specific performance after a breach of contract, a plaintiff must
27 generally show: (1) the inadequacy of his legal remedy; (2) an underlying

1 contract that is both reasonable and supported by adequate consideration; (3) the
2 existence of a mutuality of remedies; (4) contractual terms which are sufficiently
3 definite to enable the court to know what it is to enforce; and (5) a substantial
4 similarity of the requested performance to that promised in the contract.

12 harms have been inflicted, the wronged plaintiff can walk away.

14 Qualcomm is

16
17 Further, the license agreements cover
18 other products that Defendants make for companies aside from Apple. Qualcomm
19 is entitled to continue to maintain the agreements in place.
20 Apple has publicly stated that it will withhold payments from Defendants
21 until its litigation against Qualcomm is resolved (see Exs. 16, 25), and Defendants,
22 and express instructions to them, have told
23 Qualcomm that they will not pay until Apple pays (see, e.g., Exs. 18, 23). In other
24 but Defendants will

5 The essence
6 critical to the function of cellular networks, contributing technologies to standard-
7 development organizations, patenting its inventions, demonstrating the value and
8 effectiveness of that technology in commercial implementations, and licensing its
9 patents to cellular device manufacturers. Qualcomm has spent decades cultivating
10 the goodwill of its licensees; in order to develop that goodwill, Qualcomm strives
11 to treat similarly situated licensees fairly and to maintain consistency in its
12 licensing program. Without a preliminary injunction, Defendants, under the
13 direction of Apple, threaten to undo that work. (Rogers Decl. 8, 11.)
14 By paying no royalties at all patents,
15 Apple and Defendants have (unless enjoined by this Court) improperly secured for
16 themselves more favorable terms during the
17 e. (Id. 9-10.)
18 . (Id. 9.) Thus, by means of
19 their breaches, Apple and Defendants have seized for themselves a cost advantage
20 over their competitors, which will allow Apple to take for itself an even greater
21 share of industry profits. (Id. 9.) -payment of royalties
22 -payment as leverage to argue
23 (improperly) that they may also decline to pay under their respective agreements,
24 or may use the non-payment as leverage in renegotiations. (Id. 10.) At a
25 minimum, Qualcomm will suffer reputational damage, harm to the goodwill it has
26 developed over many years, and customer dissatisfaction. (Id. 8-10.) That is
27 irreparable harm. See BarryDriller, 915 F. Supp. 2d at 1147.

Dear Alex,
As Apple stated it would do in its Complaint on Januaiy 20, 2017, Apple has
withheld a total of approximately $963 million from Apple's January payments to certain
of its contract manufacturers. The amount covers BCPA payments Qualcomm withheld
from Apple for CQ2 and CQ3, as well as the BCPA payment Qualcomm indicated it
would not pay for CQ4.
In the interest of transparency, we wanted to share with Qualcomm just how these
deductions applied to the royalty payments recently made by Apple to our contract
manufacturers for the fourth quarter of 2016.

By making these payments to its CMs, Apple has paid the full
and through all of 2016, consistent with the BCPA, even
though we continue to believe these amounts are excessive and inconsistent with
FRAND.
As I shared with you in November, Apple was (and is) interested in a reasonable
and good faith offer from Qualcomm to resolve the parties BCPA dispute. What we
received in Qualcomms December 2 letter was not acceptable. As I noted in my reply of
December 22, Qualcomms demands sought to effectively hold the BCPA funds hostage
pending remedial measures that have no basis in the BCPA and that would undermine
Apples responsibility to respond truthfully to law enforcement agencies. Once Apple
raised these legitimate concerns, Qualcomm chose not to reply whether to clarify its
conditions, withdraw them, or otherwise. Accordingly, it should have come as no
surprise when Apple repeated these same concerns in its Complaint.
I value our personal and professional relationship of many years. In candor, that
is what has made Qualcomms actions all the more disappointing. Qualcomm chose to
take actions that violate both our contract and the law. I wish that had not been the
case. Even so, I continue to remain optimistic that we will be able to work together to
help our companies resolve this dispute swiftly and professionally.
Sincerely,
BJ Watrous

QUALCOMM Incorporated
Dear Don:
As you may have already heard from our contract manufacturers, Apple has not remitted
funds to those contract manufacturers for royalty payments for the quarter ending March 31,
2017. This should come as no surprise to Qualcomm. Derek and I have discussed this
eventuality at various times in the past few years. Qualcomms refusal to license on a fair,
reasonable, non-discriminatory basis is harming not only Apple, but our contract
manufacturers, other chipset companies and the wider industry. We believe Qualcomm is
charging the contract manufacturers, who in turn pass back to Apple and its customers,
royalties based on an illegal manipulation of the market for cellular enabled
chipsets. Withholding these royalty payments from the contract manufacturers is consistent
with the very public legal claims we have made against Qualcomm, and is also very
appropriate given the nature of our current dispute.
Our legal filings make clear that Qualcomm has been charging royalties for technologies they
have nothing to do with for years. The more Apple innovates with unique features the more
money Qualcomm collects for no reason, and the more expensive it becomes for Apple to
fund these innovations. Despite being just one of over a dozen companies that contributed to
basic cellular standards, Qualcomm forces the contract manufacturers and Apple to pay
many times more in royalty payments than all the other cellular patent licensors
combined! This is grossly unfair and needs to be reviewed by the courts and appropriate
antitrust agencies - activities which are now underway.
Until these matters are resolved Apple feels it has no choice but to take this step. As I have
said many times, Apple values its commercial relationship with Qualcomm but we also want
to continue innovating and providing our customers with the very best products we can at
prices that are fair. Qualcomm's refusal to meet its FRAND commitments and its insistence
on taxing our innovation is both illegal and anticompetitive. We cannot support this behavior.

Apple is not entitled to a free ride - we have never claimed that. We stand ready to pay a fair
and reasonable amount for the use of Qualcomms patented technologies. I specifically refer
you to the
that was attached to the last offer we made to Qualcomm in January. We
believe this action shows our commitment to pay FRAND royalties once the amount is finally
determined by the courts on a fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory basis.

Hi Yunhui,
Long time and how are you.? Hope this mail find you well.
I am writing you the early headup in considering of QTL royalty reporting and payment issue
recently.
We were informed by our shared key client, who are also under major legal action with
qualcomm mutually.
Our customer has recently formally requested compal to stop the royalty payment to
qualcomm that associated to their business until legal action is completed. We may have to
take some action about this to revise the Q1 report.
This is for your early notice, let me know if you need quick conversation about this.
Thanks,

Apple confirmed Friday that it won't make any further royalty payments to Qualcomm until a court weighs in on
the dispute between the two companies. Earlier on Friday Qualcomm lowered its quarterly earnings forecast
(https://www.axios.com/qualcomm-cuts-earnings-forecast-after-apple-withholds-more-royalty-pay-
2383327440.html), noting that Apple, via its suppliers, had stopped making payments.
"We've been trying to reach a licensing agreement with Qualcomm for more than five years but they have refused
to negotiate fair terms," Apple told Axios in a statement. "Without an agreed-upon rate to determine how much is
owed, we have suspended payments until the correct amount can be determined by the court. As we've said
before, Qualcomm's demands are unreasonable and they have been charging higher rates based on our innovation,
not their own."
The context: Apple is suing Qualcomm for $1 billion and Qualcomm has filed a countersuit of its own. The legal
battle is fraught for both sides, though, with Apple being one of Qualcomm's biggest customers and Apple needing
Qualcomm's modems for the Verizon and Sprint versions of the iPhone.

( 1) G<.rn;ral lnfomiation
The Group's operating scgm<.11ts required to be disdoscd arc catcgori;>;c;d as OMS (Design,
Manufacturing and Service) and Strategic Investment Group. DMS's main operating activities
arc designing and manufacturing computer, communication and consumer electronics' <.11d
products, and providing aftcr-saks service. Strategic Investment Group is OMS' s upsti-cam and
do\vnstream supply chain, strategic investments and other related investments anns. The chief
operating decision maker's main responsibility is to integrate strategy that creates operating
synergy throughout the supply chain and to allocate the profit from the operating result. The
Group assesses performance of the segments based on the segments' profit, and report the
amounts of revenues based on the financial infonnation used to prepare the consolidated
financial statements.
(2) Reportable segment profit or loss, segment assets, segment liabilities, and their mcasur<.111<.11t cu1d
rccondliations
The Group uses the internal management report that the chief operating decision maker reviews
as the basis to determine resource allocation and make a performance cval uation. The internal
management rcp011 indudcs profit before taxation, cxduding any extraordinary activity and
forcib'll exchange gain or losses, because taxation, cxtrnordinary activity and forcib'll exchange
gain or losses are managed on a group basis, and hence they are not able to be allocated to each
reportable segment. In addition, not all reportable segments include depreciation and
amortization of significant non-cash items. The reportable a.mount is similar to that in the report
used by the chief operating decision maker.
The operating SCb'111cnt accounting policies arc similar to the ones dcsc1ibcd in Note 4
"si1:,'1lificant accounting policies" except for the recognition cu1d measurement of pension cost,
which is on a cash basis. The Group treated intcrscgmcnt sales and trnnsfixs as third-pai1y
transactions. They arc measured at market pticc.

The major activities of the Group are the design, manufacture and sale of information technology
products. The chief operating decision maker of the Group determines each business group as an
operating segment. According to the provisions of the accounting standard, only the Research and
Manufacturing Service Department qualifies under the quantitative threshold criteria as a reportable
segment. Other operating departments are deemed immaterial and need not be disclosed as reportable
segment including the client service group and the related new business investment. The performance
of the department is evaluated based on the operating profit of the Group.
(b) Profit or loss data of the reporting segment (including specific revenues and expenses), assets and
liabilities of the segment, the basis of measurement, and the related eliminations:
No tax expenses or non-operating income and expenses are allocated to the reporting segment. In
addition, the reporting segment does not include depreciation and amortization of significant non-
cash items. The reportable amount is similar to that in the report used by the chief operating decision
maker. The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in note 4.
The Group evaluates the performance of operating segment on the basis of operating income. The
Group treats intersegment sales and transfers as third-party transactions. They are measured at market
price.

EMBARGO: The contents of this report must not be quoted or summarized in the print,

The College of Management at Fu Jen Catholic University in Taipei, and the Vale Columbia
Center on Sustainable International Investment (VCC) at Columbia University in New York, are
releasing the first annual report on leading Taiwanese multinationals today, indicating that the
top Taiwanese multinationals are maintaining their growth momentum in their investment abroad
despite the global crisis and a drop in the overall flows of Taiwanese foreign direct investment
(FDI). The research for this report was conducted in 2011 and covers the period 2007 to 2009.1
Highlights
The global financial crisis had a severe negative impact on Taiwans outward investment in 2009.
According to UNCTAD, the FDI outflows of Taiwan dropped dramatically from USD 10.29 billion
in 2008 to USD 5.87 billion in 20092. However, 15 of the top 20 Taiwanese multinationals still
increased their overseas assets in 2009 (table 3 below).
The top 20 Taiwanese multinationals ranked in table 1 below by their foreign assets had around
USD 76 billion in overseas assets, USD 221 billion in foreign sales and employed nearly 1.1 million
persons abroad in 2009 ( see annex table 1 for details other than assets). The total foreign
assets of the 20 multinationals were equivalent to more than 40% of Taiwans outward FDI
stock of around USD 180 billion in 2009. Collectively, the top 20 had 1,164 foreign affiliates in
42 economies. The most prominent industry on the list is electrical and electronic equipment
manufacturing.

The research for this report was carried out by Anthony Kuo and Ming-Sung Kao, in association with the College of
Management, Fu Jen Catholic University. The authors would like to thank Professor Yi-Chieh Chang of the Department
of Business Administration at St. John's University, Taipei Campus, for his kind sharing of his data with us. A report on
2010 is expected later this year or next year.

Mainly footwear and sportswear.
Major drivers
The search for new production sites with lower production costs (mainly labor and land costs) or
higher economies of scale was the most important driver for Taiwanese investment abroad.
Accessing markets with high potential and expanding distribution channels were also crucial
determinants for certain firms. Responding to client requirements and following the migration

4 Defendants License Agreements with Qualcomm
5 5. Qualcomm entered into a license agreement with Compal on February
6 10, 2000. The parties have executed various amendments to the license agreement,
7 including on March 12, 2002; November 4, 2002; September 30, 2005; February 1,
8 2006; June 22, 2007; April 15, 2008; November 8, 2011; and February 27, 2014.
9 (See Lavely Decl., Exhibit (Ex. or Exs.) 1.)
10 6. Qualcomm entered into a license agreement with FIH Mobile Ltd.
11 (formerly Foxconn International Holdings Ltd.) on October 18, 2005. (Ex. 2.) Hon
12 Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd. (Hon Hai) also signed the agreement with
13 respect to two sections. (Id.) Also on October 18, 2005, Qualcomm entered into a
14 Request for Consent to Sublicense with Hon Hai and FIH Mobile Ltd., which made
15 Hon Hai a sublicensee pursuant to the terms of the license agreement. (Ex. 3.) The
16 parties have executed various amendments to the license agreement, including on
17 March 27, 2006; November 29, 2007 (since terminated); April 14, 2009; and
18 September 24, 2012. (Ex. 2.)
19 7. Qualcomm entered into a license agreement with Wistron on May 23,
20 2007. (Ex. 4.) The parties have not executed any amendments to the license
21 agreement.
22 8. Qualcomm entered into a license agreement with Pegatron on April 29,
23 2010. The parties have executed various amendments to the license agreement,
24 including on June 1, 2010 (two amendments); June 30, 2010; and May 23, 2011
25 (since terminated). (Ex. 5.)
26 9. Compal began paying royalties under its license agreement in 2002.
27 Compal did not start manufacturing and paying royalties on Apple Inc. (Apple)
28 products under its license agreement until 2014.

1 10. Foxconn began paying royalties under its license agreement in 2005.
2 Foxconn did not start manufacturing and paying royalties on Apple products under
3 its license agreement until 2008.
4 11. Pegatron began paying royalties under its license agreement in 2010.
5 Pegatron did not start manufacturing and paying royalties on Apple products under
6 its license agreement until 2011.
7 12. Wistron began paying royalties under its license agreement in 2013.
8 Wistron did not start manufacturing and paying royalties on Apple products under
9 its license agreement until 2014.
10 13. The royalty rate in each Defendants license agreement has remained
11 the same both before and after each Defendant began manufacturing Apple
12 products.
13 14. In 2015 and 2016, Defendants combined royalty payments for Apple
14 products averaged approximately per quarter.
15 15. Prior to Q4 2016, each Defendant made regular royalty payments to
16 Qualcomm on Apple and non-Apple devices. Each Defendant has continued to
17 make royalty payments to Qualcomm under its license agreement for non-Apple
18 products, including for Q4 2016 and Q1 2017.
19 Defendants Failure To Pay Royalties
20 16. In a letter dated February 3, 2017, Apple told Qualcomm that it was
21 withholding a total of approximately $963 million in payments to the Defendants
22 for the royalties they owed Qualcomm for Q4 2016. (Ex. 7, at 1.) Apple stated that
23 it withheld this amount based on the amounts at issue in a separate dispute
24 regarding the Business Cooperation and Patent Agreement between Apple and
25 Qualcomm. (Id.) Aside from the approximately $963 million withheld, Apple paid
26 Defendants the amounts owed for reported royalties for Q4 2016. (Id.)
27 17. Foxconns Q4 2016 royalty reports certified that it owed
28 to Qualcomm for Apple products ( for iPhones
Case No. 17-cv-1010 WQH JMA

Case 3:17-cv-01010-WQH-JMA Document 35-5 Filed 05/24/17 PageID.362 Page 5 of 8
1 and for iPads). (Exs. 8-10.) Qualcomm invoiced Foxconn for the
2 reported royalties. However, Foxconn only paid Qualcomm in
3 royalties on Apple products for Q4 2016 ( for iPhones and
4 for iPads). Foxconn stated that it had received roughly one-third of
5 the royalties due from Apple and that the remaining amount would not be issued.
6 (Ex. 11.) Qualcomm notified Foxconn of its non-compliance and reminded
7 Foxconn that it must fulfill its payment obligations. Foxconn paid the full Q4 2016
8 royalties that it reported for non-Apple products.
9 18. Qualcomm received Pegatrons Q4 2016 royalty report on January 22,
10 2017. Pegatrons Q4 2016 royalty report showed that it owed to
11 Qualcomm for Apple iPhones. Pegatrons total royalty amount owed was
12 calculated by summing the individual amounts listed in Pegatrons report. (Ex. 12.)
13 Qualcomm invoiced Pegatron for that amount. However, Pegatron only paid
14 Qualcomm in iPhone royalties for Q4 2016. Qualcomm notified
15 Pegatron of its non-compliance and reminded Pegatron that it must fulfill its
16 payment obligations. Pegatron paid the full Q4 2016 royalties that it reported for
17 non-Apple products.
18 19. Wistron submitted its Q4 2016 royalty report two weeks late, and the
19 report was missing the required sales data for Apple products. Instead, the report
20 simply showed that Wistron owed in royalties for Apple iPhones.
21 (Ex. 13.) According to Apples February 3, 2017 letter, however, Wistron owed
22 Qualcomm in royalties for Q4 2016. (Ex. 7.) But Wistron only paid
23 Qualcomm in iPhone royalties for Q4 2016. Qualcomm notified
24 Wistron of its non-compliance and reminded Wistron that it must fulfill its payment
25 and reporting obligations. Wistron told Qualcomm that the information it sent was
26 all that its customer allowed [Wistron] to provide. (Ex. 14.) Wistron paid the
27 full Q4 2016 royalties that it reported for non-Apple products.
28 20. Compals Q4 2016 royalty report was received by Qualcomm on
Case No. 17-cv-1010 WQH JMA
5 Declaration of Abbaseh Samimi
Case 3:17-cv-01010-WQH-JMA Document 35-5 Filed 05/24/17 PageID.363 Page 6 of 8
1 January 25, 2017, and Compal paid the full amount it reported for Q4 2016
2 royalties for Apple and non-Apple products. (Ex. 15.) According to Apples
3 February 3, 2017 letter, Compal received nearly full payment from Apple for Q4
4 2016. (Ex. 7.)
5 21. On April 25, 2017, Apple notified Qualcomm that it would not pay
6 any funds to Defendants for royalties due to Qualcomm for Q1 2017, and will not
7 be paying any funds to Defendants until court and antitrust agency matters are
8 resolved. (Ex. 16.)
9 22. On April 19, 2017, Qualcomm received Compals Q1 2017 royalty
10 report for Apple products. Compals Q1 2017 royalty report showed that it owed
11 in royalties to Qualcomm for Apple iPads. (Ex. 17.) But, on April 27,
12 2017, Qualcomm received an email from Compal stating: Our customer [Apple]
