On October 2, 2025, a U.S. District Court judge in the District of Delaware granted Qualcomm Incorporated a complete victory in a litigation brought by Arm Ltd. The ruling rejected Arm’s attempts to stifle Qualcomm’s innovation and confirmed that neither Qualcomm nor its subsidiary Nuvia breached the Nuvia architecture license agreement with Arm.
The court dismissed the lone remaining claim in Arm’s lawsuit, upholding the jury verdict that Qualcomm did not breach the architecture license agreement. It also rejected Arm’s request for a new trial, thereby solidifying Qualcomm’s legal position over its use of Arm IP.
This decision removes a significant legal threat to Qualcomm’s ability to innovate and use Arm technology in its Snapdragon platforms, reducing litigation costs and protecting the company’s competitive edge in the semiconductor market.
The ruling also reinforces Qualcomm’s broader strategy of leveraging its own IP and the Nuvia acquisition to drive product development across mobile, automotive, and PC segments.
