手機晶片大廠高通（Qualcomm）公司和無線通訊晶片大廠博通（Broadcom）於2009年4月26日宣布，雙方達成協議，高通同意於未來四年期間分期支付博通（Broadcom）8.91億美元，撤回多年來兩家公司相關專利訴訟案件。

高通將於6月底前，先支付博通2億美元，此次協議結果包括，美國國際貿易委員會（ITC）、美國聯邦地方法院等專利侵權訴訟的和解，而博通亦撤回在歐洲委員會、韓國公平貿易委員會等地提告。

根據雙方達成的協議，這兩家公司同意將某些權利授予對方而形成各自的專利組合。高通宣稱該協議的條款，對於高通公司的3G（例如CDMA2000，WCDMA和TD-SCDMA ）和4G（如：LTE和WiMAX ）專利授權模式，將不會因此導致任何改變。

本網站針對高通和博通的美國專利訴訟進行搜查，調查自2001年至2009年4月30日止，初步統計獲知共計有12件訟案，約涉及27件專利。就提告者來看，高通共計有4件訟案，博通共計有8件訟案，如表一。
