Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM), Samsung (OTCPK:SSNLF) and Taiwan Semiconductor (NYSE:TSM) are set to be investigated by the U.S. International Trade Commission over certain devices and integrated circuits after it received a complaint over potential patent violation.
The complaint, filed by Daedalus Prime LLC of Bronxville, New York, alleges there were "violations" of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930. Both Samsung's (OTCPK:SSNLF) South Korean operations and its Ridgefield Park, New Jersey operations are listed as defendants, along with San Diego-based Qualcomm (QCOM).

Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM) Samsung (OTCPK:SSNLF) and Qualcomm (QCOM) did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Seeking Alpha.
Separately on Friday, Qualcomm (QCOM) declared its quarterly 75-cent-per-share dividend, payable on December 15 to shareholders of record as of December 1.
