A federal jury in Delaware has ruled that Arm breached its contractual obligations with Qualcomm and intentionally interfered with Qualcomm's business relationship with Meta, according to Tom's Hardware and Engadget. Despite the finding, the jury awarded Qualcomm only $2 in nominal damages and rejected several other claims the chipmaker had brought against Arm.
The decision came after a five-day trial in Wilmington, Delaware. Qualcomm had sued Arm in the United States earlier this year, accusing its licensing partner of breaching the terms of their contract and causing it damage. During the trial, Qualcomm argued that Arm violated the Architecture License Agreement by withholding software patches and processor verification tools and by declining to offer commercially reasonable licensing terms.
