Apple Sues Qualcomm for $1B, Alleging Extortion
For years Apple has insisted on charging royalties for app features they have nothing to do with. When I make my app better and raise the price of my app, a bigger fee goes to Apple.<p>Now all of a sudden, Apple finds royalties oppressive?<p>I am sick of large corporations getting better treatment than consumers. If consumers can&#x27;t sue pharmacy companies for using patents to set a high price for a life saving drug, then neither should Apple be able to sue Qualcomm for using patents to set a high price for CDMA chips not available elsewhere.<p>Billion dollar corporations should be left to their own negotiations without government interference and allowed to screw over each other (as long as they follow the law). The government should instead focus on stopping these same corporations from screwing over consumers and small businesses.
