Qualcomm Announces Plan to Cease Licensing Custom CPU Microarchitecture Adjustments Within Arm Ecosystems in 60 Days

The progress of the legal case between Arm Holding Plc and Qualcomm, where Arm alleges that Qualcomm violated the licensing of Arm’s architecture by using licenses from Arm’s subsidiary, Nuvia, with the parent company Qualcomm. Arm believes that this cannot be done in this manner.

Most recently, Bloomberg reported that Arm informed Qualcomm that they will cancel the licensing permission for customizing chips within 60 days (as specified in the contract that requires a 60-day prior notice). This action may prevent Qualcomm from selling products with customized Arm chips (such as the Oryon CPU in the Snapdragon Elite chip family) but still allows them to sell chips directly using Arm’s green print (Cortex CPU).

Qualcomm’s representatives expressed confidence in their rights and view Arm’s recent actions as obstructing the legal process.

TLDR: Arm is accusing Qualcomm of violating licensing agreements, leading to potential restrictions on customization of chips, while Qualcomm stands firm on its rights amidst the legal dispute.
