高通诉讼胜诉 陪审团认定Arm违反许可协议

特拉华州陪审团判决Arm违反了与高通的架构许可协议（ALA），但赔偿金额仅为2美元1。陪审团认定Arm在两个关键方面存在过错：拒绝提供高通验证定制Oryon CPU核心所需的软件补丁和工具，以及故意干扰高通与Meta之间的业务合作1。具体赔偿金额为每项索赔1美元1。

更具有潜在影响力的是Arm违约行为对未来特许权费用的影响。法院尚未决定Arm的违约是否允许高通在五年内停止支付ALA下的特许权使用费1，这一待决问题涉及金额可能达到数十亿美元1。此外，Arm已赢得大部分其他索赔，这些索赔主要涉及单独的技术许可协议（TLA）下的定价问题1。

A Delaware jury has found that Arm violated its architectural license agreement (ALA) with Qualcomm, though the financial award remains nominal at $2 total, with $1 assigned to each of two claims 1. The jury determined that Arm refused to provide software patches and verification tools necessary for Qualcomm to validate its custom Oryon CPU cores, and that Arm deliberately interfered with Qualcomm's business dealings with Meta 1.

Despite this legal victory, Arm prevailed on the majority of the claims brought against it, which centered on pricing disputes under a separate technical license agreement (TLA) 1. The more consequential matter remains undecided: whether Arm's breach permits Qualcomm to cease paying royalties under the ALA for a five-year period—a determination that could involve billions of dollars and has yet to be ruled on by Judge Maryellen Noreika 1.
