Qualcomm and Arm head to trial again, potential for huge damages in focus
Qualcomm alleges Arm withheld contractually required testing tools and leaked a termination threat that hurt talks with Meta Platforms, as the dispute returns to court.
- On Monday, Chipmaker Qualcomm and Arm Holdings returned to federal court in Delaware, with Qualcomm alleging Arm withheld chip testing tools and leaked a termination threat that undermined business negotiations with Meta Platforms.
- Litigation between the two firms began in 2022, when Arm sued over a license agreement tied to Qualcomm's acquisition of Nuvia; Arm, owned by Japan's SoftBank Group, has since entered the chip market, turning former customers into direct rivals.
- Seeking relief, Qualcomm aims to halt royalty payments to Arm for up to five years, potentially worth billions, while a five-day jury trial addresses these claims and Judge Maryellen Noreika oversees a related bench trial.
- Arm rejects the breach-of-contract allegations, characterizing the claimed harm to Qualcomm's deals as speculative, and contends that Qualcomm itself leaked confidential antitrust information to reporters, barring recovery of damages.
- Although their licensing agreement remains in effect until 2033, Arm has appealed a 2024 verdict to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, while Judge Noreika weighs dismissing specific contract terms regarding damages.
