The Wall Street Journal is saying that it is okay to import products that violate patents as long as it is done by a US company. Why?
The point is that this is a dispute between two American companies and their respective patents. We are basically a free market as far as patents go. If I own a patent on a given product or component I can have it made wherever it is legal to do so. The foreign source for the chips is irrelevant as this is not a dumping case, i. e., attempting to corner a market with cut rate prices. USA patent law should take precedent in this case.
Let’s not forget that:
1: Broadcom, the company that owns the tech and the patent - and spent a lot of money creating the tech - is American.
2: Qualcomm, the company that decided to play fast and loose with patents and decided to try to screw Broadcom, is also American - but they shouldn’t be allowed to profit from it.
