Qualcomm processors properly licensed from Arm, US jury finds (finance.yahoo.com)

Arm Holdings' lawsuit against Qualcomm ended on Friday with a jury delivering a mixed verdict that found for Qualcomm on a crucial issue, saying Qualcomm had properly licensed its central processor chips.

Arm's shares were down 1.9% in extended trading after the news, and Qualcomm's shares were up 2.3%.

Major loss for Arm, who started this whole thing, and now have nothing to show for, while also pissing off their customers (Qualcomm obviously, but probably also many others).

A seemingly big failure for ARM, they go after one of their own clients and then lose their case against them.

Yeah. The whole move imo was already a play for short term profits over long term considerations regardless of the outcome. I guess after the sale to nvidia fell through Softbank wanted to make some fast money?

For what it's worth they are seemingly seeking a retrial source.

And on a side note i am quite fascinated how fast those Delaware courts are handlying big cases like these. Something i also noticed during the twitter sale.
