Jurors are weighing licensing claims, alleged interference with Qualcomm’s Meta deal and an 18,500% proposed royalty increase.
The lawsuit between Qualcomm and Arm Holdings is likely to be decided this week, with the outcome potentially affecting licensing terms and royalty negotiations between the companies.
Jurors are considering whether Arm breached its licensing agreements with Qualcomm by withholding software patches and development tools. The case also examines whether Arm intentionally sought to derail Qualcomm’s planned deal with Meta by allegedly leaking a letter that accused Qualcomm of violating its license.
Testimony in the case indicated that Arm sought an 18,500% increase in royalties. The dispute could shape future negotiations over the cost and terms of Arm’s technology licenses.
No verdict date has been provided, and no verdict had been reported as of Oct. 13. Any decision could be followed by appeals.
