Nvidia Corp. wants Qualcomm Inc. to pay up for allegedly crushing a $352 million chipset acquisition, according to details of a London lawsuit made public this week.
Nvidia claims it was forced to wind down its cellular mobile broadband chipset business, including its Icera unit just four years after buying it, as a result of Qualcomm’s "unlawful abuse of dominance," according to documents released by a London court Tuesday.
