Apple’s losses in the ongoing legal battle with American chip maker Qualcomm (QCOM) in multiple countries hurt its stock in the fourth quarter. In December, a Chinese court ordered Apple “to immediately cease infringing upon two Qualcomm patents through the unlicensed importation, sale and offers for sale in China of the iPhone 6S, iPhone 6S Plus, iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X.” Similarly, in Germany, Qualcomm received a district court’s approval “to cease the sale, offer for sale and importation for sale in Germany of infringing iPhones.”

During his recent interview with CNBC’s Jim Cramer, Cook said, “The issue that we have with Qualcomm is that they have a policy of no license, no chips. This is, in our view, illegal, and then, secondly, they have an obligation to offer their patent portfolio on a fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory basis and they don’t do that. They charge exorbitant prices.”

Cook’s negative remark on Qualcomm could diminish the possibility of a potential Apple-Qualcomm settlement, according to CNBC.

Nonetheless, ahead of other larger concerns such as falling Chinese sales and the US-China trade war, Apple’s legal battle with Qualcomm may not have a big impact on its stock movement.
