QCOM ▲ +0.4% - QUALCOMM Incorporated $QCOM Qualcomm’s lawsuit against ARM Arm Holdings heads to a Delaware jury Friday, alleging licensing breaches and intentional interference with Qualcomm’s dealings with $META Meta, following a five-day federal trial. * Contract allegations: Qualcomm claims Arm withheld software patches and chip-design tools and violated pricing protections intended to keep its licensing costs within 10% of Arm’s lowest comparable rates. * Meta dispute: Qualcomm alleges Arm deliberately leaked a 2024 license-breach notice to Bloomberg to undermine its business dealings with Meta. * Arm’s defense: Arm denies causing Qualcomm harm, arguing the lawsuit is an attempt to gain leverage in licensing negotiations. * Royalty dispute: Qualcomm seeks the right to suspend royalty payments for five years if Arm breached its agreements. The judge has not ruled on the provision, which Arm argues is unenforceable. * Legal background: A 2024 jury rejected Arm’s attempt to establish Qualcomm had breached its license. Qualcomm’s current architecture license runs through 2033, while a separate trial over Arm’s good-faith negotiations awaits a judicial decision. 09-OCT-2026 08:17 AM ET
