Slacker re: Court Enjoins BRCM and “This injunction doesnt seem to stop Broadcom from selling WCDMA chipsets.....so its practical effect will likely be nil.”

Help, I’m having trouble with the above???

Doesn’t the snip you cited bar “sales ...of Broadcom’s current or future products” (WCDMA basebands) resulting from the trade secret theft ---- /

( “QUALCOMM recently discovered that Broadcom, during the period leading up to its introduction of WCDMA baseband products, had engaged in a successful multi- year effort to improperly acquire thousands of pages of QUALCOMM confidential business and technical information, including valuable source code, relating to QUALCOMM's WCDMA product development”

.....”The preliminary injunction will remain in effect at least through completion of the trial in this case, presently set to start on October 10, 2007.”

>>>>>> ????????????? End of long question

Snip >>>

”The preliminary injunction bars any use of the confidential technical and business information in the misappropriated QUALCOMM documents, including by the exploitation of such information in the marketing, sales or development of Broadcom's current or future products. It is a court order, the violation of which could result in a finding of contempt.
