Well now, it's about time.

Near the end of the trial, Qualcomm engineer Viji Raveendran disclosed that her lawyers discovered 21 key e-mails that had not been shared with Broadcom as required during discovery, the phase before trial when parties exchange information.
Broadcom demanded an explanation and learned months later that Qualcomm also failed to share the thousands of pages of documents.
Some of the information Qualcomm didn't share undercut its witnesses' testimony and supported the later finding that Qualcomm deliberately concealed patents it holds from an industry standards group.
U.S. District Judge Rudi Brewster ruled in August that Qualcomm's behavior exposed a "carefully orchestrated plan and deadly determination to hold hostage the entire industry" that would use the technology.
Brewster also found that Qualcomm and its outside lawyers engaged in "constant stonewalling, concealment and repeated misrepresentations" at its trial against Broadcom. He described it as "an organized program of litigation misconduct" and asked Major to consider sanctions against the outside attorneys.
