Qualcomm and SiRF signed a patent agreement

Companies Qualcomm and SiRF recently signed an agreement to renounce claims on each other's patent portfolio. Kanwar Chadha, founder of SiRF Technology, both commented that the signing of the agreement: "We respect the intellectual property company Qualcomm" and added that "the signed agreement will help both companies to actively promote the device to support A-GPS, as well as related services and content."

Rather, by signing this agreement, SiRF Technology is trying to pre-empt possible charges of using the patents Qualcomm. After all, was most recently confirmed violations by SiRF Technology of several patents the company Global Locate Inc., Which is 100% owned by another well-known manufacturer of telecommunications products Broadcom.
