Even though the money is small, Qcom needed to respond with an affirmative claim against Broadcom in order to raise the stakes to Broadcom. Best defense is a good offense. It's also a way of getting back attorney fees. Plus, it may be helpful against other companies in regard to the video compression issue. If Q put on no evidence of damages as to the second patent, it may not be able to receive any. Still, would not disallow an injunction for infringement.
