The conflict between Qualcomm and Arm took a significant turn as Arm reportedly revoked Qualcomm’s license to use its instruction set for chip design. Bloomberg reported that Arm has issued Qualcomm a 60-day notice to resolve the issue; otherwise, Qualcomm risks having to stop selling certain products or face considerable legal consequences. The licensing dispute dates back to Qualcomm’s 2021 acquisition of Nuvia, a chip design firm whose Oryon CPUs were set to power upcoming Qualcomm SoCs. Arm argues that Nuvia’s designs, initially developed under an Arm license, cannot legally transfer to Qualcomm without explicit permission. If Arm follows through with this termination, Qualcomm will be barred from using Arm’s instruction set for custom designs but may still use Arm’s standard blueprints — a shift that could force delays and additional expenses as work already done may go to waste.
