Qualcomm, Apple Extend Licensing Agreement for Chips
The renewed deal extends Qualcomm’s chip licensing terms with Apple after a 2019 settlement that ended a two-year global patent dispute.
- On Thursday, Qualcomm Incorporated announced it has extended its global patent licensing agreement with Apple, effective April 1, 2027. The deal continues their technological partnership regarding chip licensing.
- This renewed agreement builds on a 2019 settlement that ended a two-year global legal battle over wireless-patent royalties and modem-chip supply. The companies had originally agreed to a six-year licensing deal from April 1, 2019.
- "We are pleased to extend the Apple license agreement," said John Han, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Qualcomm Technology Licensing . Han leads the division managing the company's patent portfolio.
