U.S. antitrust officials are poised to sue Qualcomm Inc. for allegedly using unfair practices in the way it licenses its technology, people familiar with the matter said.
Qualcomm, the biggest maker of semiconductors for mobile phones, disclosed in 2014 that the Federal Trade Commission was investigating its licensing practices and said an enforcement action could lead to a fine or changes to its business.
