Qualcomm, which is second to Motorola in cellphone chips, said in August that it was buying the closely held Flarion, based in Bedminster, N.J., for $600 million in cash and stock to gain wireless technology used in new high-speed Internet services.

It also limits copy protection measures, the government said. The bill, intended to put a European Union directive on intellectual rights into French law, is being reworked after consumer groups balked at provisions that made file-sharing akin to counterfeiting, punishable by up to three years in prison and fines of up to 300,000 euros ($364,000).
