Qualcomm wins Arm lawsuit but awarded only $2; royalty dispute continues

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Qualcomm has won a lawsuit against Arm Holdings in Delaware, with a jury finding that Arm breached its Architectural License Agreement and intentionally interfered with Qualcomm's business dealings with Meta. Despite the breach finding, Qualcomm was awarded only $2 in nominal damages. The legal battle, which has spanned years and involves disputes over licensing and Qualcomm's acquisition of Nuvia, is not entirely over, as a judge will still rule on further disputes that could potentially suspend Qualcomm's royalty payments to Arm for five years, a sum worth billions.
