During the Arm vs. Qualcomm court case, Qualcomm's CEO shared how the decision to purchase Nuvia for $1.4 billion was justified to the board.

In 2022, Arm ignited a legal battle after Qualcomm continued to pay its existing royalty fees to Arm, which were allegedly much lower than what Nuvia was paying. After the two failed to come to an agreement, Arm argued the designs licensed to Nuvia were no longer valid, and that Qualcomm should destroy the technology created with them.

The jury delivered its decision Friday in an industry-defining licensing battle that started over a $50 million royalty dispute.

Internal Qualcomm documents showed the chip firm estimated it could eventually save as much as $1.4 billion a year on payments to Arm by purchasing a little-known startup in 2021, according to evidence shown at a trial on Wednesday.

In a high-stakes trial unfolding in US federal court in Delaware, former Apple executive Gerard Williams III took the stand to address a crucial question: Who

Qualcomm's central processors are properly licensed under an agreement with Arm Holdings, a jury found in a trial in U.S. federal court that removed some, but not all, uncertainty around the mobile chipmaker's expansion into the laptop market.

The judge presiding over the case, US District Court Judge Maryellen Noreika, said she didn't think "either side had a clear victory."
