Jury in QCOM trial against ARM Holdings has not reached a verdict and will return to deliberations next week - press
**Context: Qualcomm alleges Arm withheld chip-design tools and breached pricing terms, while Arm disputes that Qualcomm suffered harm. The stakes include potential damages and future licensing terms; Qualcomm has also asked the judge to let it suspend royalty payments for five years if Arm breached their contract, but the judge has not ruled on that request. A separate 2024 trial ended with a key licensing ruling in Qualcomm’s favor.
After roughly four hours of deliberations on Oct 9th, the jury had not reached a verdict on Qualcomm’s claims, including alleged interference with its dealings with Meta.
Jurors are expected to resume deliberations on Oct 13th.
