Qualcomm brags about achieving "complete victory" over Arm in chip licensing spat
"This follows Qualcomm's victory in December 2024, when a jury decided unanimously that Qualcomm did not breach the Nuvia licensing agreement with Arm and that the CPU core design obtained in the Nuvia acquisition was properly licensed by being covered by Qualcomm's own license from Arm. Today's ruling upholds that jury verdict and rejects Arm's request for a new trial too."
"So it's finally, definitely, conclusively over now. Qualcomm says this result reinforces its ability "to drive innovation across the semiconductor industry and address the world's most important technological challenges". Funnily though, Qualcomm's separate lawsuit against Arm for breach of contract, "improper interference with customer relationships", and a "pattern of conduct seeking to hinder innovation and better position Arm's own products over its long-standing partners'" is still ongoing."
Arm filed suit in 2022 alleging Qualcomm breached a licensing agreement after acquiring Nuvia and using Nuvia technology in Qualcomm's Phoenix core designs. In December 2024 a jury unanimously found Qualcomm did not breach the Nuvia licensing agreement and that the CPU core design from the Nuvia acquisition was covered by Qualcomm's own license from Arm. A U.S. District Court judge in Delaware dismissed the lone remaining claim and refused Arm's request for a new trial, upholding the jury verdict. Qualcomm characterized the outcome as reinforcing its ability to drive semiconductor innovation. A separate Qualcomm suit against Arm remains pending.
