Really big news in the Qualcomm versus Arm lawsuit. The The US. District Court confirms the final judgement on the last remaining question out of three. "A U.S. District Court judge today granted Qualcomm Incorporated a complete victory in litigation brought by Arm Ltd., rejecting Arm’s attempts to stifle innovation and confirming that neither Qualcomm nor its subsidiary Nuvia breached Nuvia’s license agreements with Arm."

Arm has been denied its request for a retrial. Qualcomm's lawsuit against Arm for breach of contract, improper conduct, and interference is still active and will go to trial in March 2026.

The drama is not over, but with this win, Qualcomm has a tailwind behind it, as the final judgement establishes a clear standard for the definitions of technology and intellectual property as it pursues its grievances against Arm after a decisive close to one half of the dispute.
