Chip designer Broadcom said Friday that rival Qualcomm rejected its offer to settle a patent dispute over wireless chip technology with a $6 royalty fee for each mobile phone affected.

The two companies have been locked in lawsuits over wireless chip technology. Qualcomm is seeking a presidential veto on a U.S. government agency's ban on imports of high-speed wireless phones that use Qualcomm chips due to their infringement of Broadcom patents.
