The legal battle between British chip designer Arm and American chipmaker Qualcomm has commenced in a U.S. federal court. The dispute began after Qualcomm's acquisition of NUVIA, a CPU company whose designs are based on Arm's licenses. Arm accuses Qualcomm of violating their agreement by using NUVIA's custom designs without consent. Qualcomm argues that their agreement with Arm allows for custom CPU designs.
In court, Arm demands Qualcomm destroy NUVIA's designs but does not seek financial compensation. Qualcomm claims Arm's technology is outdated. The trial is expected to last a week, with key executives from both companies attending.
This case's outcome could significantly impact both companies' operations and the broader industry, affecting supply chains and future product availability.
