Arm’s lawsuit against Qualcomm ends in a negative ruling in Qualcomm’s favor

Arm Holdings sued Qualcomm for breach of license agreement. But the jury today found that it could not reach a conclusion on one of the claims and found in Qualcomm’s favor on the other.

Arm sued Qualcomm after Qualcomm acquired Arm’s Nuvia license for $1.4 billion. The judges did not agree on whether Nuvia violated its license, but they also said that Qualcomm did not infringe Nuvia’s license with Arm.

“We are pleased with today’s decision,” Qualcomm said in a statement. “The jury affirmed that Qualcomm has the right to manufacture and assert that all of Qualcomm’s products at issue are protected by Qualcomm’s agreement with ARM. We will continue to create innovative, world-leading products that benefit consumers around the world, with our popular Oryon CPUs.” ARM.

The judges said Qualcomm had properly licensed its core processor. Shares of Arm were lower in short-term trading, while shares of Qualcomm were slightly higher. The case, which was held in US federal court in Delaware, could be re-tried.

The jury also found that Qualcomm’s chips, which were developed using Nuvia’s technology, were properly licensed under Nuvia’s agreement with Arm. This means that Qualcomm can continue to sell. These chips are helping Qualcomm move into the computer market.

In a statement, Arm said, “We are disappointed that the jury was unable to reach a consensus. We want to be held accountable for the jury’s failure. From the beginning, our priority has been to protect Arm’s IP and the unparalleled ecosystem we have built with our valued partners for over 30 years.” .As always, we are committed to innovating in our rapidly evolving market and serving our partners as we advance the future of computing.”
