Qualcomm secures key win in chips trial against Arm
www.bnnbloomberg.ca
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.

      Qualcomm bought nuvia, which had a broad license to use ARM’s IP. They used said IP to make chips.

      ARM claims that the change in ownership somehow invalidates the license and they were required to renegotiate new terms.

      They couldn’t convince a jury because that doesn’t make sense without very specific terms explicitly detailing exactly what conditions nullify their license agreement.

        I don’t know why a blanket, terms not transferable upon sale, wouldn’t have covered it, but either that is too broad or didn’t exist in the original Nuvia contract.

            I agree but that doesn’t really have anything to do with what’s in the Nuvia contract. I assume you mean it wouldn’t be the norm to have not transferrable in there.
