A federal jury in Wilmington, Delaware, found for Qualcomm on two claims against Arm but set total damages at $2 in a dispute over an architecture license agreement.
The panel assigned $1 to the contract breach and another $1 to the intentional-interference finding. It also rejected four of Qualcomm’s six claims.
Qualcomm said it needed Arm’s validation materials and software fixes to test its custom processors. The chipmaker also alleged that Arm’s actions complicated customer negotiations, including discussions involving Meta. The jury found Arm intentionally interfered with Qualcomm’s business relationship with Meta.
Arm disputed Qualcomm’s account and argued the chipmaker had not proved significant financial harm. The agreement covers Qualcomm’s development and sale of custom processors designed to use Arm’s instruction set.
