In an explosive claim, tech firm ParkerVision has accused Qualcomm of stealing its valuable chip technology and offshoring it to China with alleged assistance from the Obama administration.

A new video series titled Against the Giants by ParkerVision is reviving the firm's long-standing legal battle with Qualcomm over alleged patent infringement and alleged government collusion facilitated by Obama-era officials, as the Daily Wire reports.

ParkerVision, a smaller tech company, has reignited its conflict with industry leader Qualcomm through its newly launched, four-part video series.

The series, Against the Giants, accuses Qualcomm of misappropriating ParkerVision's patented chip technology. This dispute traces back to 2011, when ParkerVision initially suspected the theft and pursued legal action against Qualcomm.

Tech Company Wins Jury Verdict

In the legal confrontation, ParkerVision won a favorable outcome when a jury found Qualcomm guilty of patent infringement. Yet, this victory was short-lived. Just seven weeks later, an Obama-appointed judge nullified the jury verdict.

The judge dismissed the case, detailing an "insufficient evidentiary basis" for ParkerVision's claims. This dismissal did not end the contentious legal exchanges between the two companies, which have persisted over the years.

ParkerVision took matters further by alleging a conspiracy involving Qualcomm and the Obama administration.

According to the smaller tech firm, officials from the Department of Justice and the executive branch browsed their website, specifically examining the ongoing litigation against Qualcomm.

Allegations of Government Involvement

Further fueling the allegations, ParkerVision pointed out that former President Obama attended a Democratic National Committee fundraiser at the residence of Qualcomm's CEO not long after the website visits.

Recently, the Against the Giants project utilized its presence on X, formerly Twitter, to criticize large technology corporations. The account accused big tech of betraying American interests by allegedly shipping technological advancements to China with governmental support.

In response to these allegations, Qualcomm has taken legal steps to counteract the claims made in the video series and on social media. The tech giant submitted a lengthy 28-page motion, requesting the court to shut down the Against the Giants social media account.

Qualcomm Asserts Fair Trial Rights

In its motion, Qualcomm argued that ParkerVision's social media activities compromise their "Constitutional right to a fair trial." The company called for "immediate court intervention" to eliminate ParkerVision's posts.

In contrast, ParkerVision signaled its intention to oppose Qualcomm's latest motion in court. The company announced it would soon respond, defending its right to communicate its narrative publicly.

Jeffrey Parker, CEO of ParkerVision, has publicly articulated the reasons behind the firm's sustained legal struggle. Highlighting the larger implications of the case, he expressed concerns about the U.S. losing its innovative edge to countries like China.

Motivations Behind ParkerVision's Fight

In a statement, Parker emphasized the broader battle his company is fighting: "Right now, China is cleaning our clock," he said. He criticized the tendency to allow companies to move innovations to China. He stressed that this trend endangers the future of American innovation.

The protracted legal saga between ParkerVision and Qualcomm shows no signs of resolution. Both parties remain entrenched in their positions, with ParkerVision continuing to make public allegations and Qualcomm seeking judicial relief.

At the core of ParkerVision's stance is the belief that its ongoing legal efforts serve to protect future generations of American innovators. "We're doing this because it's the right thing to do," Parker affirms.

As the legal proceedings unfold, this high-stakes technology dispute continues to draw attention, raising questions about the interplay between government, industry, and the global transfer of technology.
