UK company says it will seek retrial after partial verdict in case over 2021 acquisition
Qualcomm claimed victory over Arm after a US jury largely ruled in its favour on Friday in a long-running dispute over its acquisition of chip company Nuvia in 2021. Arm vowed to seek a retrial, however, because of what it called a “deadlock”, as jurors failed to reach a decision on one of the three questions they were asked to answer — setting the stage for more litigation or a potential settlement.
“Two of the three questions were a unanimous decision in their favour, and the judge made it clear that she was not keen on a quick retrial.” The dispute threatened widespread disruptions as a range of new artificial intelligence-focused consumer devices containing Qualcomm chips hit the market — including PCs from Microsoft and Dell and smartphones from Samsung. Arm had been seeking to destroy the allegedly infringing products.
