Judge dismisses Arm's last legal claim against Qualcomm (www.theregister.com)

Chip designer tells The Reg it plans to appeal

Qualcomm is claiming complete victory over Arm in their licensing spat, after a court in Delaware ruled it has not breached the terms of any architecture license agreement (ALA) with the chip designer.

This latest verdict [PDF] follows the court case at the end of last year, when a jury found largely in favor of the California chipmaker. This legal row concerned whether Qualcomm had broken the terms of its licenses with Arm when it acquired Nuvia, a startup developing Arm-based processors for the datacenter, and incorporated its technology into Qualcomm chips.

In those hearings, the jury was unable to reach a consensus on whether Nuvia had breached its own ALA with Arm. The final ruling this week by District Judge Maryellen Noreika finds in favor of Nuvia and Qualcomm, that Nuvia did not in fact breach its ALA with the UK-based chip designer.

Do they have auto generated thumbnails or why is there a guy arm wrestling in an article about ARM?

This is almost certainly deliberate and a result of the theregister's sense of humour.

Using an arm wrestle picture for a legal battle with ARM seems about the right tone match for The Register tbf

They likely use a generic image provider and though this image looked better than just an ARM (or Qualcomm) logo.

Arm needs to have these cases in the EU. USA is way to corrupt to be trusted, and I wouldn't mind if EU gave Qualcomm a major slap, their practices around patents are despicable both ways.
