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

1 valuable and practiced by most cellular devices.


2 Defendants are four non-U.S. electronics manufacturers, each of which
3 makes and sells wireless products (such as phones and tablets) that comply with
4 3G and 4G LTE cellular standards. As a result, each Defendant makes and sells
5 devices that necessarily practice Qualcomm cellular SEPs. Those devices also
6 practice many Qualcomm NEPs. E
7 intellectual property, and each entered into a license agreement with Qualcomm
8 many years ago. The license agreements are straightforward and unambiguous.
9 In exchange for consideration, including quarterly royalty payments to Qualcomm
10 (calculated as a percentage of the net selling price, or NSP, of each device sold by
11 Defendants), Qualcomm grants Defendants the right to use certain Qualcomm
12 intellectual property to manufacture and sell cellular devices. Each quarter,
13 Defendants send Qualcomm royalty reports detailing the amount of royalties owed
14 for that quarter and, until now, each quarter Defendants have followed through
15 and paid the royalties reported and owed.
16 Defendants do not sell many devices to consumers under their own brands;
17 rather, they sell the vast majority of their devices to other companies that rebrand
18 and then resell the devices to consumers. Apple is each Defendant largest
19 cellular customer. Apple does not manufacture any cellular devices itself. Rather,
20 Apple has hired Defendants to manufacture the iPhones and iPads it designs.
21 Defendants manufacture for Apple virtually every iPhone and iPad sold
22 worldwide. Each Defendant also manufactures cellular devices for other
23 companies, such as . license agreements require them
24 to pay royalties to Qualcomm on Apple and non-Apple devices alike.
25 Apple does not have a patent license from Qualcomm to make and sell
26 iPhones or iPads. Instead, s

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).
12 That all changed at the end of 2016. As a result of a dispute between Apple
13 and Qualcomm concerning a different agreement to which Defendants are not
14 parties (the Business Cooperation and Patent Ag
15 royalties equal to the
16 amount that Apple (incorrectly) claims that Qualcomm owes to Apple under the
17 Cooperation Agreement. Apple did pay some royalties due to Qualcomm for sales
18 during the fourth quarter of 2016, only deducting off the top the specific amount
19 at issue in the Cooperation Agreement dispute between Apple and Qualcomm.

25 Agreement dispute.
26 That turned out not to be the case. Toward the end of January 2017,
27 Apple (i) filed lengthy and wide-ranging complaints around the world challenging

1 (ii) refused to pay Defendants


2 any Qualcomm royalties; (iii) instructed Defendants not to pay any royalties to
3 Qualcomm, at all, for Apple products, withholding from Qualcomm hundreds of
4 millions of dollars in royalties for sales during the first quarter of 2017 alone; and
5 (iv) agreed to indemnify Defendants against claims that Qualcomm might assert.
6 Moreover, Apple stated that it will continue to withhold all Qualcomm
7 royalties contrary to nearly a decade of past practice and with the deliberate
8 purpose of forcing the Defendants to violate their license agreements until
9 t
10 Qualcomm indefinitely; it has virtually unlimited resources (more than
11 $256 billion in cash reserves) and already has filed multiple cases against
12 Qualcomm not just in this Court, but around the world. And when those cases
13 end, Apple can file more cases. What Apple really means is: Apple will continue
14 to withhold Qualcomm royalties until Apple feels like paying them again, or until
15 Qualcomm surrenders .
16 ch severe, immediate,
17 and permanent harm on Qualcomm that Qualcomm will be forced to agree to
18 licensing demands without first having its day in court.
19 Having filed a complaint with this Court challenging certain aspects of
20 licensing business, Apple is now unwilling to wait for that complaint
21 to be heard. It has chosen commercial ransom over judicial process. At bottom,
22 Apple seeks to pay less than fair value
23 property; it has now shown that it will seek to achieve that result through coercion
24 enabled by its enormous market power.
25 But .
26 Defendants know this. They have consistently paid Qualcomm royalties since the
27 first license agreement was entered into nearly 17 years ago and, tellingly,

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
9 .
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,
6 Inc. QTI , designs industry-leading components, such as cellular baseband

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
9 Qualcomm, and by their consistent payment of those royalties, for years and
10 without protest, they have acknowledged the validity of those obligations.
11 B. .
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
18 royalties due to Qualcomm. Specifically, Apple engaged in unlawful self-help by
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
23 words, for Q4 2016 sales, Apple reimbursed Defendants for some royalties owed

1 to Qualcomm under licensing agreements, withholding only the


2 (significant) amount at issue in the Cooperation Agreement dispute, despite Apple
3 already having filed a complaint challenging certain aspects of Qualcomm
4 licensing practices.
5 As Apple intended, Defendants withheld from Qualcomm the same amount
6 of Q4 2016 royalties that Apple withheld from them: Foxconn withheld more
7 than ; Pegatron withheld more than ; and Wistron
8 withheld more than . (Id. 17-19.) Qualcomm made payment
9 demands to these Defendants for Q4 2016 royalties and gave them notice of their
10 non-compliance with their license agreements. (Id.) Certain Defendants admitted
11 that they owed additional royalties but claimed that Apple had prevented full
12 payment. (Id.)
13 Then Apple implemented the next step of its plan. On April 25, 2017,
14 Apple notified Qualcomm that it had not remitted any funds to Defendants for
15 royalties due to Qualcomm for Q1 2017 sales, and that it would not make any
16 royalty payments with respect to royalties owed to Qualcomm until the litigation
17 between Apple and Qualcomm is resolved. (Ex. 16.) Apple then instructed
18 Defendants not to pay Qualcomm royalties for Apple products. (Cathey Decl.
19 7.) And Apple agreed to indemnify Defendants for their breaches. (Id. 6.)
20 After Apple refused to pay Defendants and instructed them not to pay
21 Qualcomm, Defendants refused to pay any Q1 2017 royalties for Apple devices
22 even though they admittedly owe Qualcomm hundreds of millions of dollars. For
23 example, on April 17, 2017, Foxconn certified in its royalty report owes
24 in royalties to QUALCOMM for [Q1 2017] sales [of Apple
25 iPhones] (Samimi Decl. 23; Ex. 20.) A week later, however, Foxconn told

6 ARGUMENT
7 I. Applicable Legal Standards.
8 plaintiff seeking a preliminary injunction must establish that he is likely
9 to succeed on the merits, that he is likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence
10 of preliminary relief, that the balance of equities tips in his favor, and that an
11 injunction is in the public interest. Alliance for the Wild Rockies v. Cottrell,
12 632 F.3d 1127, 1131 (9th Cir. 2011) (quoting Winter v. Natural Res. Def. Council,
13 Inc., 555 U.S. 7, 20 (2008)).

15 the Ninth Circuit, the elements of the preliminary injunction test are balanced, so

24 There is some debate in the Ninth Circuit district courts about whether to apply the federal or
state standard for a preliminary injunction on a claim under state law. However, California state
25 courts also apply a sliding-scale standard. See, e.g., Right Site Coal v. Los Angeles Unified Sch.
Dist., 160 Cal. App. 4th 336, 338-
26 prevail, the less severe must be the harm that they allege will occur if the injunction does not

27 satisfies either test here.

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)

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.
5 Lansmont Corp., 2012 WL 6096674, at *5. Each factor is met here.

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

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
25 continue to breach the license agreements indefinitely. If Qualcomm were limited
26 to an award of backward-looking money damages (the legal remedy), Qualcomm
27 would be forced to file a new suit (or amend its complaint) each and every quarter.

9 Second, the parties long history of operating under the license agreements
10 makes clear that the agreements are reasonable and supported by adequate
11 consideration. As noted, as to non-Apple products, Defendants continue to
12 perform under the same terms that apply to Apple products.
13 Third, there is a mutuality of remedies under the license agreements
14 because Defendants would be able to obtain specific performance to enforce the
15 agreements if it were Qualcomm that was breaching.
16 Fourth, the contract terms are sufficiently definite such that the Court can
17 enforce the agreements. In fact, it will be simple to do so. Prior to Q4 2016,
18 Defendants always paid royalties for Apple and non-Apple devices under the
19 terms of the licensing agreements. (Samimi Decl. 15.) Defendants continue to
20 pay royalties on non-Apple devices under the terms of the licensing agreements.

Injunction.

Because Qualcomm is highly likely to prevail on its breach claims the
3
4
Qualcomm need show only some likelihood of irreparable harm to receive a
5
preliminary injunction under the sliding scale standard. See Wild Rockies,
6
632 F.3d at 1131; Leiva-Perez, 640 F.3d at 966. Qualcomm easily satisfies that
7
standard; in fact, Qualcomm is virtually certain to suffer immense irreparable
8
harm starting almost immediately, including (i) ongoing, indefinite non-payment
9
of very large amounts of royalties; (ii) injury core licensing
10
business, and loss of goodwill among other licensees that also make smartphones
11
(and compete with Apple) and yet observe Apple cutting off royalties in an
12
attempt to strong-arm Qualcomm into discriminatorily favorable licensing terms;
13
and (iii) potential difficulties in collecting future damages because Defendants are
14
foreign companies with virtually all of their assets overseas.
15
A. Indefinite Non-Payment of Royalties Is Irreparable Harm.

The typical remedy for a breach of contract is monetary damages, and

4 That is the situation here. Qualcomm is entitled to a preliminary injunction
5 for the same reason it is entitled to specific performance to avoid ongoing,
6 repeated, and indefinite non-payment of royalties, and the multiplicity of lawsuits
7 that inevitably would follow. See Donahue, 181 Cal. Rptr. 3d at 587; see also

12 Again, in the ordinary case, a licensor could terminate its license agreement
13 if a licensee refuses to pay royalties. But this is not the ordinary case.
14
15
16 In any event, Qualcomm should not be forced to terminate the
17 agreements; among other reasons, they also apply to non-Apple products.
18 Defendants plainly intend to continue breaching the license agreements
19 going forward with respect to Apple products. Qualcomm is left with no recourse,
20 other than indefinite, multiple, serial lawsuits which the law recognizes is an
21 insufficient remedy. Without a preliminary injunction, Qualcomm will experience
22 repeated non-payment of nearly , on average, every calendar quarter into
23 the indefinite future. (See Samimi Decl. 14.) That harm is irreparable.

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.

6 (Rogers Decl. 7.) In 2016, Qualcomm spent $5 billion on research and
7 development, which made it a leader among high tech firms, both in absolute
8 terms and as a percentage of its revenue. (Ex. 31 at 14.) Based on Apple sales in
9 recent years, , on average, nearly
10 , every year, for however long Apple decides it does not
11 want to pay Qualcomm royalties. (Samimi Decl. 14.)

2
3 Defendants are all non-U.S. companies with their primary assets located
4 overseas. (See Ex. 26 at 97; Ex. 27 at 200; Ex. 28 at 220; Ex. 29 at F-82; Ex. 30 at
5 17.) The potential difficulty Qualcomm may have in enforcing any future
6 damages award against these foreign Defendants constitutes, in and of itself, a
7 likelihood of irreparable harm.
8 IV. The Balance of Hardships Weighs
9 Defendants seek to overturn more than 15 years of practice between the
10 parties without legal justification, and in the process to inflict irreparable harm on
11 Qualcomm. None of the harms described above can be remedied by after-the-fact
12 monetary damages. By contrast, Defendants would be required only to do what
13 they have been doing for years paying under their patent license agreements.
14 For its part, Apple has become the most valuable company in history while
15 Apple should continue
16 paying Defendants what it owes them for the devices they manufacture for Apple
17 (relief Qualcomm has requested in a related action). But if Apple refuses to do so,
18 Defendants should stop manufacturing devices for Apple. Or Defendants should
19 pay the royalties owed to Qualcomm out of their own pockets to be repaid by
20 Apple based on its indemnification promise to Defendants. Either way,
21 Qualcomm simply asks the Court to order that the Defendants comply with their
22 contracts with Qualcomm. See Tanner Motor Livery, Ltd. v. Avis, Inc., 316 F.2d
23 804, 808 (9th Cir. 1963) It is so well settled as not to require citation of authority
24 that the usual function of a preliminary injunction is to preserve the status quo ante
25 litem pending a determination of the action on the merits.
26 Defendants would prefer to derive the full benefit of the license agreements
27 without paying anything on Apple devices, but that would be fundamentally

6 the license in accordance wit ). The balance of the
7 favor. See Wild Rockies, 632 F.3d at 1131.
8 V. The Public Interest Supports a Preliminary Injunction.
9 There is a strong public interest in protecting intellectual property rights.
10 See, e.g., PPG Indus., Inc. v. Guardian Indus. Corp., 75 F.3d 1558, 1567 (Fed.
11 Cir. 1996) (recognizing the
12 patent rig injunction, the Northern District of

14 and [has] recognize[d] the role of protecting intellectual property rights as part of
15
16 Networks, Inc., No. C 10-3428, 2013 WL 557102, at *7 (N.D. Cal. Feb. 12, 2013).
17 ents with Qualcomm allow them to manufacture
18 devices that practice thousands (Rogers Decl. 5-6.)
19 Protecting those property rights is in the public interest.
20 CONCLUSION
21 For the foregoing reasons, Qualcomm respectfully requests that the Court
22 enjoin Defendants from violating the terms and conditions of their license
23 agreements during the pendency of this litigation.

Confidential - Subject to Party Mutual Confidentiality Agreement

Dear Alex,

I am writing to follow-up on earlier conespondence regarding the BCPA.

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.

Case 3:17-cv-01010-WQH-JMA Document 35-3 Filed 05/24/17 PageID.244 Page 9 of 118

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
Vice President & Chief IP Counsel

Donald Rosenberg
EVP, General Counsel & Corporate Secretary
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.

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

We were informed by our shared key client, who are also under major legal action with

Our customer has recently formally requested compal to stop the royalty payment 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.

Apple confirms it won't make royalty payments to Qualcomm


until dispute settled

Paul Sakuma / AP

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.

13. SEG\'IENT l~FORMATION

( 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.

(13) Segment information:

(a) General information

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.

Leading multinationals from Taiwan increase their foreign


assets despite the global crisis

Report dated November 3, 2011

EMBARGO: The contents of this report must not be quoted or summarized in the print,
broadcast or electronic media before 10:00 a.m. Taipei and 2 a.m. GMT on November 3,
2011, and 10:00 p.m. New York on November 2, 2011.

Taipei and New York, November 3, 2011:

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.

Profile of the top 20

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

Case No. 17-cv-1010 WQH JMA
Declaration of Alex Rogers
Case 3:17-cv-01010-WQH-JMA Document 35-4 Filed 05/24/17 PageID.355 Page 2 of 4

1 I, Alex Rogers, declare as follows:


2 1. I am the Executive Vice President and President of Qualcomm
3 Technology Licensing (QTL), a division of Qualcomm Incorporated
4 (Qualcomm). QTL is the business segment of Qualcomm that grants patent
5 licenses and provides rights to use portions of Qualcomms intellectual property
6 portfolio. I have been employed by Qualcomm since 2001. I have held my current
7 position, in which I oversee Qualcomms licensing business, since 2016. Prior to
8 becoming the Executive Vice President and President of QTL, I held various
9 positions in Qualcomms Corporate Legal department, including the position of
10 Deputy General Counsel.
11 2. Through my work in the Corporate Legal department and now as the
12 Executive Vice President and President of QTL, I am familiar with Qualcomms
13 licensing practices. I have actively participated in the negotiation of license
14 agreements on behalf of Qualcomm, including in recent negotiations with Apple
15 Inc. (Apple).
16 3. In my current position, I oversee Qualcomms business relationship
17 with each licensee. My work at Qualcomm over the past 16 years has required
18 familiarity with Qualcomms various agreements with Qualcomm licensees. As a
19 result, I am familiar with the license agreements Qualcomm has entered into during
20 my tenure at the company, as well as certain of the active license agreements that
21 were entered into prior to my employment at Qualcomm.
22 4. The contents of this declaration are true and correct to the best of my
23 knowledge, information, and belief, and are based on my personal knowledge or, as
24 applicable, on my review of Qualcomm records. If called upon as a witness in this
25 action, I could and would competently testify thereto.
26 Qualcomms Relationship with Defendants
27 5. Compal Electronics Inc., Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. and FIH
28 Mobile Ltd. (together, Foxconn), Wistron Corporation, and Pegatron Corporation
Case No. 17-cv-1010 WQH JMA
2 Declaration of Alex Rogers
Case 3:17-cv-01010-WQH-JMA Document 35-4 Filed 05/24/17 PageID.356 Page 3 of 4

1 (collectively the Defendants), have entered into license agreements with


2 Qualcomm. (Lavely Decl., Exhibits 1-5.) The license agreements provide
3 Defendants with the right to make, use, and sell certain cellular devices that practice
4 certain Qualcomm intellectual property, generally including cellular standard-
5 essential patents (cellular SEPs), non-cellular SEPs, and non-standard-essential
6 patents (NEPs).
7 Qualcomms Relationship with Apple
8 6. Apples cellular products, including the iPhone and iPad, are
9 manufactured by Defendants under their license agreements with Qualcomm. It is
10 through this arrangement that Apple receives the right to practice certain
11 Qualcomm patents. Apple has never entered into a direct license agreement with
12 Qualcomm. Instead, the Defendants make Apple products subject to their license
13 agreements with Qualcomm and pay royalties to Qualcomm pursuant to those
14 agreements.
15 Qualcomms Licensing Business
16 7. Research and development is critical to Qualcomms licensing
17 business. In order to remain a leader in this industry, it is essential for Qualcomm
18 to commit significant resources and funding to R&D of new technologies. This is
19 especially true given the changing landscape of companies seeking to innovate in
20 the field of wireless technology. It is Qualcomms ongoing investment in R&D that
21 allows it to invent the cellular technologies critical to the function of cellular
22 networks and devices.
23 8. Qualcomm has spent decades in relationships with numerous licensees
24 around the world. In order to develop goodwill, Qualcomm strives to treat
25 similarly situated licensees fairly and maintain consistency in its licensing program.
26 9. Qualcomms licensing business depends on its ability to license its
27 tens of thousands of patents to cellular manufacturers that use its valuable
28 technology in return for royalties. Qualcomm has hundreds of other licensees in
Case No. 17-cv-1010 WQH JMA
3 Declaration of Alex Rogers
Case 3:17-cv-01010-WQH-JMA Document 35-4 Filed 05/24/17 PageID.357 Page 4 of 4

1 addition to Defendants. Qualcomms other licensees include competitors of Apple


2 and Defendants. By refusing to pay royalties for Qualcomms licensed technology,
3 Defendants (and Apple) have created a significant competitive imbalance. Their
4 competitors are paying to use Qualcomms valuable intellectual property under
5 their respective license agreements, while Apple and Defendants are not.
6 10. If Defendants non-payment of royalties continues, other licensees
7 may use Defendants non-payment as leverage to improperly argue that they may
8 also decline to pay under their respective agreements, or use the non-payment as
9 leverage in renegotiations, so long as Apple and Defendants continue to refuse to
10 pay. In this way, Apples and Defendants actions threaten to undermine
11 Qualcomms licensing business beyond the scope of the dispute with Apple.
12 11. Defendants continued non-payment of royalties also may harm
13 Qualcomms ability to enter into new agreements. Prospective licensees are aware
14 of competitors practices with respect to the payment of royalties for intellectual
15 property rights. If a major competitor is not paying at all, particularly despite the
16 existence of a valid agreement, a prospective licensee could claim it is
17 disadvantageous to sign a license agreement with Qualcomm.
18 Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1746, I declare under penalty of perjury that the
19 foregoing is true and correct and that I executed this declaration on May 24, 2017 in
20 Brussels, Belgium.

Case 3:17-cv-01010-WQH-JMA Document 35-5 Filed 05/24/17 PageID.359 Page 2 of 8

1 I, Abbaseh Samimi, declare as follows:


2 1. I am Vice President, Strategic Market Analysis and Contracts at
3 Qualcomm Technology Licensing (QTL), a division of Qualcomm Incorporated
4 (Qualcomm). QTL is the business segment of Qualcomm that grants licenses and
5 provides rights to use portions of Qualcomms intellectual property portfolio. I
6 have been employed by Qualcomm since 1996. I have held my current position
7 since 2007.
8 2. For more than twenty years, I have overseen Qualcomms license
9 compliance group. Qualcomms license compliance group is responsible for
10 reviewing licensee royalty reports, overseeing royalty audits of licensees,
11 confirming complete royalty payment by licensees, and handling all regular
12 correspondence with licensees. Following the receipt and review of licensee
13 royalty reports, the compliance group also works with Qualcomms finance group
14 to invoice licensees. The compliance group tracks the royalty payment compliance
15 for hundreds of Qualcomm licensees, including Compal Electronics Inc.
16 (Compal), FIH Mobile Ltd. and Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd. (together
17 Foxconn), Wistron Corporation (Wistron) and Pegatron Corporation
18 (Pegatron) (collectively, Defendants). The compliance group regularly
19 communicates with each of the Defendants and Qualcomms other licensees. I
20 receive regular notifications regarding licensee royalty reporting, payment
21 compliance, and correspondence.
22 3. In around 2001, I formed Qualcomms contracts group and have
23 overseen the group since that date. The contracts group tracks each license
24 agreement entered into by Qualcomm, as well as any amendments or sublicense
25 agreements related to Qualcomms license agreements. The contracts group also
26 tracks the licensing terms for each of Qualcomms licensees. I receive notification
27 upon entry of any new license agreements, sublicense agreements, or amendments.
28 4. The contents of this declaration are true and correct to the best of my

1 knowledge, information, and belief, and are based on my personal knowledge or, as
2 applicable, on my review of Qualcomm records. If called upon as a witness in this
3 action, I could and would competently testify thereto.
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.

Case 3:17-cv-01010-WQH-JMA Document 35-5 Filed 05/24/17 PageID.361 Page 4 of 8

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 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 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]
13 has recently formally requested [C]ompal stop the royalty payment to [Q]ualcomm
14 that [is] associated to their business until legal action is completed. (Ex. 18.) On
15 May 3, 2017, Compal told Qualcomm that Apple will not be transmitting funds to
16 [Compal] for the [Q1 2017] quarterly royalty payment to Qualcomm, so Compal
17 will only submit non-Apples report/payment. (Ex. 19.) Qualcomm reminded
18 Compal that it must comply with its obligations under its license agreement by
19 paying royalties on both Apple and non-Apple products. Compal was required to
20 remit Q1 2017 royalty payments by . Compal has not paid any
21 royalties to Qualcomm for Apple products for Q1 2017. Compal paid the full Q1
22 2017 royalties that it reported for non-Apple products.
23 23. Foxconns Q1 2017 royalty reports certified that it owed
24 in royalties to Qualcomm for Apple products (
25 for iPhones and for iPads). (Exs. 20-22.) But, on April 26, 2017,
26 Qualcomm received an email from Foxconn stating: Still wa[i]ting for funds from
27 customer [Apple], I have no idea when [Foxconn] can release pa[y]ment to you.
28 (Ex. 23.) On a subsequent call, Foxconn informed Qualcomm that its Apple royalty

1 I, James J. Cathey, declare as follows:


2 1. I am Senior Vice President and President of Asia Pacific & India at
3 Qualcomm Technologies Inc. (QTI), a subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated
4 (Qualcomm). QTI operates substantially all of the products and services
5 businesses owned by Qualcomm Incorporated, including Qualcomm CDMA
6 Technologies (QCT), and substantially all of its engineering, research, and
7 development functions. I have been employed by Qualcomm since 2006. I have
8 held my current title since 2016.
9 2. In my role at QTI, I oversee all of QTIs sales and customer relations
10 for Qualcomms Asia Pacific and India region (which includes Korea, Japan,
11 Taiwan, and Indonesia, among many other countries). As a result, I frequently
12 meet with, or otherwise communicate with, QTIs customers and potential
13 customers across the region. For many years, I have had long-standing
14 relationships with numerous cellular device manufacturers, including Compal
15 Electronics Inc., Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. and/or FIH Mobile Ltd. (together,
16 Foxconn), Wistron Corporation, and Pegatron Corporation (collectively,
17 Defendants). I regularly interact with representatives from each Defendant.
18 3. The contents of this declaration are true and correct to the best of my
19 knowledge, information, and belief, and are based on my personal knowledge or, as
20 applicable, on my review of Qualcomm records. If called upon as a witness in this
21 action, I could and would competently testify thereto.
22 Apples Agreement To Indemnify Defendants
23 4. I am aware that each Defendant has entered into a license agreement
24 with Qualcomm. Under their respective license agreements, the Defendants are
25 required to pay Qualcomm royalties for the manufacture and sale of cellular
26 products.
27 5. I am also aware that each Defendant recently stopped paying the
28 royalties owed to Qualcomm under its license agreement for the sale of Apple, Inc.

1 (Apple) products.
2 6. During a meeting in Taiwan in late February 2017, a Foxconn
3 representative informed me that Apple agreed to indemnify Foxconn for any claims
4 arising from Foxconns failure to honor its obligations under its license agreement
5 with Qualcomm. During a teleconference in April 2017, a Compal representative
6 also informed me that Apple promised similar indemnification to Compal. In early
7 May 2017, during another trip to Taiwan, a Wistron representative also informed
8 me that Apple made a similar indemnification promise to Wistron.
9 7. By early May 2017, representatives from Foxconn, Wistron and
10 Compal had informed me that Apple was instructing each such Defendant not
11 to make royalty payments to Qualcomm related to the sale of Apple products.

13 Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1746, I declare under penalty of perjury that the
14 foregoing is true and correct that I executed this declaration on May 24, 2017
