QUALCOMM claims attorney client privilege, I don't see how a judge can rule on sanctions until after related litigation is completed The judge may look at the allegedly priviliged material in chambers, not give it to BRCM pending her determination of privilege. There is also the so-called crime/fraud exception to the privilege under which it is not allowed if a crime or fraud is being covered up. The crime/fraud exception to the privilege can be very complex, and I am not 100% sure it applies here. I litigated it once many years ago, successfully. Made an attorney testify about his client's fraud. It was fun, lots of fun, but I don't remember the nuances, and there are a lot of them.
