U.S. President George W. Bush named a Justice Department official with experience in terrorism wiretap programs as his White House homeland security adviser on Wednesday.

Ban Holds on Qualcomm’s Sale of Some Chips
Autor admin | 20.03.2008 | Category SEO
LOS ANGELES — Broadcom (NASDAQ:BRCM) said a U.S. appeals court let stand a lower court order barring wireless chip maker Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) from selling chips that infringe on three of its patents.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington, D.C. rejected a bid by Qualcomm to lift a California trial court’s injunction that stopped it from selling chips found by a California jury in 2007 to infringe on the Broadcom patents.
Qualcomm wanted to continue selling the third-generation, or 3G, WCDMA chips while it appealed that verdict.
The appeals court, in its ruling on Tuesday, also dismissed an attempt by Sprint Nextel (NYSE:FON) to intervene in the case.
