Delaware jury awards Qualcomm $2, finds Arm breached license
In short
A Delaware jury gave Qualcomm $2 in nominal damages and said Arm Holdings breached its architectural license agreement. Qualcomm said the jury also found Arm tried to disrupt Qualcomm’s business.
This matters because the ruling supports Qualcomm on liability, but the award is tiny and the reporting does not say what happens next in the legal fight.
