In 2022, Arm ignited a legal battle after Qualcomm continued to pay its existing royalty fees to Arm, which were allegedly much lower than what Nuvia was paying. After the two failed to come to an agreement, Arm argued the designs licensed to Nuvia were no longer valid, and that Qualcomm should destroy the technology created with them.

The jury delivered its decision Friday in an industry-defining licensing battle that started over a $50 million royalty dispute.

A jury sided with Qualcomm on two of three key points, but couldn't reach a verdict on the third, resulting in a mistrial. The judge cautioned against a new trial and recommended mediation.
