Having doubled the money it sets aside for legal issues-from $100 million last year to $200 million for the year ahead-Qualcomm Inc. announced that it will hire Carol Lam, the former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of California.
Lam will serve as a senior vice president in the chip vendor’s legal department, and will work on global legal issues, the company said.
Qualcomm faces numerous legal disputes, most prominently from competitors and customers alleging anti-trust activities and patent infringement, which are being investigated by the European Commission, the U.S. International Trade Commission and other regulatory bodies.
