    1. I’m glad to see that decision! We will see how this continues to play out, it’s been such a weird thing to follow.

      It’s a mistrial, not a clear victory. The judge:

      > I don’t think either side had a clear victory or would have had a clear victory if this case is tried again

      Personally, I think that Qualcomm pulled some shady shit when they bought Nuvia. It’s a weird coincidence that Snapdragons start performing amazingly right after they buy a startup founded by former Apple engineers, which Apple directly accused of stealing trade secrets (without suing because they know very well how difficult it is to prove).

    3. > The jury also found that Qualcomm’s chips created using Nuvia technology, which have been central to Qualcomm’s push into the personal computer market, are properly licensed under its own agreement with Arm, clearing the way for Qualcomm to continue selling them.

      I don’t like Qualcomm, but this was the right decision.

      They already had a license, bought Nuvia’s tech, and ARM tried to hold them to Nuvia’s license — even though those licenses are normally non-transferable in the first place. I can’t believe ARM actually tried to pull this.
