Qualcomm has achieved "complete victory" in its licensing dispute with Arm, which started back in 2022 when Arm filed a lawsuit against Qualcomm over a breach of contract related to Arm's acquisition of Nuvia and its use of Nuvia technology in the design of its custom Phoenix cores. Like all court spats, this one took very long to conclude, but it now has in its entirety. A US District Court judge in the District of Delaware dismissed the lone remaining claim in Arm's lawsuit against Qualcomm and Nuvia, by ruling in favor of Nuvia. This follows Qualcomm's victory in December 2024, when a jury decided unanimously that Qualcomm did not breach the Nuvia licensing agreement with Arm and that the CPU core design obtained in the Nuvia acquisition was properly licensed by being covered by Qualcomm's own license from Arm. Qualcomm says this result reinforces its ability "to drive innovation across the semiconductor industry and address the world's most important technological challenges".
