""In this most recent order, the judge ordered Qualcomm to pay Broadcom
$8,568,633.24 for its "monumental and intentional discovery violation,"
representing all of Broadcom's attorneys' fees and costs incurred in the
litigation.  (Because the trial judge had already awarded these costs and
fees to Broadcom in its Exceptional Case Order, the court directed that
Qualcomm receive credit toward this penalty for any money it paid to
Broadcom to satisfy the exceptional case award.)"

"The court also found that six of Qualcomm's outside attorneys "assisted
Qualcomm in committing this incredible discovery violation by intentionally
hiding or recklessly ignoring relevant documents, ignoring or rejecting
numerous warning signs that Qualcomm's document search was inadequate, and
blindly accepting Qualcomm's unsupported assurances that its document search
was adequate.""
