On October 6, 2025, a UK consumer group filed an antitrust lawsuit against Qualcomm, alleging the company abused its dominant position in supplying smartphone chipsets. The lawsuit was reported on October 9, 2025, and claims Qualcomm engaged in anti‑competitive practices that harmed consumers and competitors.
The complaint focuses on Qualcomm’s control over the market for smartphone modem and application processor chips, arguing that the company used its market power to impose unfair pricing and licensing terms. The lawsuit seeks damages and an injunction to prevent Qualcomm from continuing the alleged conduct.
The case is part of a broader regulatory scrutiny of Qualcomm’s business practices, following earlier legal disputes with Arm and other competitors. The outcome could influence Qualcomm’s competitive positioning in the global semiconductor market.
