In order to develop its own high-performance CPU, Qualcomm previously spent $1.4 billion to acquire Nuvia, did not expect such a plan to invest tens of billions of dollars was sniped by its partner ARM, the latter sued for breach of the licensing agreement, and now Qualcomm also began to fight back, also filed a lawsuit against ARM.
According to reports, Qualcomm filed a lawsuit today in the United States, hoping that a federal judge in Delaware would find that the company did not violate ARM's licensing contract as part of Qualcomm's $1.4 billion acquisition of chip startup Nuvia.
ARM suddenly announced in September that it was suing Qualcomm and Nuvia, alleging that they had violated their licensing agreement with ARM by requiring Qualcomm to destroy designs developed under Nuvia's license agreement with Arm.
ARM said that after months of negotiations, Qualcomm also failed to obtain this license, and Qualcomm also implanted Nuvia's custom CPU design into its own chip production line without permission.
In the face of ARM's allegations, Qualcomm believes that ARM is knocking on the door and that ARM intends to force Qualcomm to renegotiate the license with baseless lawsuits.
It is worth stating that ARM's ARM IP licensing is graded, with different rates for licensing with public CPUs as well as self-developed CPU architectures, which is the key to the mutual lawsuit between Qualcomm and ARM.
