The only reason it could claim the exclusion order served the public interest was because the order forced Q to settle, and settle promptly.

If the ITC had been only interested in forcing a settlement, a total ban would have worked better than the limited exclusion order that was given. The ban they handed down was fairly clever in that it balanced the public interest with Broadcom's interest with the impact of the exclusion order getting larger and larger over time.

So yes, I expect that a finding of infringement will get Qualcomm some form of exclusion order that would help force Apple to the table. I think that will fall short of a total ban though. If the judge did give a complete ban, I would wager quite a bit against it surviving both the Commission and the President.

and of course, the odds are that the day after any exclusion order goes into effect, Apple/Intel will announce a work around which will force Q to go to court to prove that the work around still violates their patents.


This is more about leverage in settlement negotiations than anything else.
