Qualcomm Inc. recently hired Donald Rosenberg as its new general counsel. Rosenberg, who acted as Apple Inc.'s GC for less than a year, helped guide the company through its stock-option challenges. Now Rosenberg will face different challenges at Qualcomm, including patent disputes concerning cell-phone technology. Qualcomm's chief executive officer, Paul Jacobs, has full confidence in Rosenberg and believes his experience with litigation, intellectual property, securities, and antitrust matters, along with his understanding of technology, will greatly enhance the company.
