The suit alleges that Apple didn’t hold up its end of the bargain in separating engineers working with Qualcomm and Intel chips, and that the those working with Intel may have been given access to key information about its competitor’s technologies. The suit notes that in a request from Apple for proprietary Qualcomm information, an Intel engineer was on the distribution list.

The lawsuit filed yesterday in a San Diego court suggest that there is no end in sight for the legal skirmish between the two companies that began earlier this year when Apple sued Qualcomm for $1 billion and halted royalty payments to the company over complaints that Qualcomm was charging for technologies that they had nothing to do with.


In the months since, there’s been significant pushback from Qualcomm as the company has tried to seek injunctions in both the U.S. and China against the sales of iPhones that use the company’s wireless tech. Qualcomm has also sued Apple over patent infringement.
