Overview

• U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika in Delaware dismissed Arm’s remaining claim, finding Nuvia and Qualcomm did not breach Arm’s Architecture License Agreement.
• The ruling leaves intact the December 2024 jury verdict favoring Qualcomm and resolves the previously deadlocked issue over Nuvia’s ALA in Qualcomm’s favor.
• Arm said it will immediately file an appeal seeking to overturn the judgment.
• Qualcomm called the outcome a complete victory that affirms it did not violate its agreement with Arm.
• Analysts say the decision paves the way for wider use of Nuvia-derived Oryon CPU cores across product lines, as Qualcomm’s separate counterclaim against Arm heads to trial in March 2026.
