On January 20, 2017, CNBC reported that Apple sued Qualcomm for roughly $1 billion, alleging Qualcomm charged Apple royalties for technologies Qualcomm had "nothing to do with."

CNBC also reported that Qualcomm has taken "radical steps" that include "withholding nearly $1 billion in payments from Apple as retaliation for responding truthfully to law enforcement agencies investigating them."  Apple reportedly added, "Despite being just one of over a dozen companies who contributed to basic cellular standards, Qualcomm insists on charging Apple at least five times more in payments than all the other cellular patent licensors we have agreements with combined."

This news drove the price of QCOM shares down nearly 2.5% to close at $62.88 per share.

"We are investigating allegations made by both Apple and the FTC in their complaints filed against Qualcomm," said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein.

Whistleblowers: Persons with non-public information regarding QCOM should consider their options to help in the investigation or take advantage of the SEC Whistleblower program. Under the new SEC whistleblower program, whistleblowers who provide original information may receive rewards totaling up to 30 percent of any successful recovery made by the SEC.
