公平會昨（11）日祭出鐵腕重罰美國行動晶片大廠高通（Qualcomm），重罰234億元，對此高通迴應，不認同此判決，將在未來幾周內上訴。
高通在官網發表聲明，指出不認同公平會判決，臺灣公平會所做出的判決和在臺灣相關營運活動沒有直接關聯，在正式收到公平會決議書後，將在未來幾周內向臺灣法院針對該事提請上訴。
微驅科技總經理吳金榮指出，近年來，高通在高階智慧型手機的晶片組市場，取得絕對的優勢，包括驍龍800系列晶片組，在2017年幾乎全吃所有高階智慧型手機市場，尤其是驍龍835更是全球各大手機廠的旗艦機種，競相採用的晶片組。在高階智慧型手機市場取得勝利後，高通更乘勝追擊，推出全新驍龍600系列晶片組，搶佔中階智慧型手機市場。
市場人士觀察，高通（Qualcomm）在行動通訊基頻晶片市場具獨佔地位，在高階智慧手機市場取得勝利後，更乘勝追擊搶佔中階智慧手機市場，藉此排擠原本在中階市場的聯發科，更對下游廠商如宏達電祭出「不籤授權契約就不提供晶片」的規定，遭臺灣公平會11日重罰新臺幣234億元。高通聲明，不認同公平會的決定，將向臺灣法院提起上訴。

Qualcomm Disagrees with Decision by Taiwan Fair Trade Commission and Intends to Seek a Stay and Appeal the Decision
Qualcomm (Nasdaq: QCOM) today announced that the Taiwan Fair Trade Commission (TFTC) has reached a decision in the TFTC’s investigation, stating in a press release that certain of the Company’s business practices are in violation of Taiwanese competition law and imposing a fine of approximately $23.4 billion Taiwan dollars (approximately $773 million US dollars at current exchange rates). Qualcomm disagrees with the decision summarized in the TFTC’s press release and intends to seek to stay any required behavioral measures and appeal the decision to the Taiwanese courts after receiving the TFTC’s formal decision, which is expected in the next several weeks. The fine bears no rational relationship to the amount of Qualcomm’s revenues or activities in Taiwan, and Qualcomm will appeal the amount of the fine and the method used to calculate it.
