Arm's high-stakes licensing suit against Qualcomm ends in mistrial, but Qualcomm prevails in key areas
Briefly

The jury in the US District Court for the District of Delaware spent the week listening to arguments in the protracted and increasingly rancorous licensing dispute between Arm and Qualcomm over whether Qualcomm is properly licensed to use technology acquired when it bought startup Nuvia in 2021. The verdict, delivered Friday, is hugely significant, not only for the parties involved but for the maze of other companies that have built their product development around their technology.
We are pleased with today's decision, Qualcomm said in a press release. The jury has vindicated Qualcomm's right to innovate and affirmed that all the Qualcomm products at issue in the case are protected by Qualcomm's contract with ARM. We will continue to develop performance-leading, world-class products that benefit consumers worldwide, with our incredible Oryon ARM-compliant custom CPUs.
We are disappointed that the jury was unable to reach consensus across the claims, an Arm spokesperson said in an email. We intend to seek a retrial due to the jury's deadlock. From the outset, our top priority has been to protect Arm's IP and the unparalleled ecosystem we have built with our valued partners over more than 30 years.
