Feb 5 (Reuters) - Qualcomm ( QCOM ) Chief Executive
Officer Cristiano Amon said on Wednesday that Arm Holdings
has withdrawn a threat to terminate Qualcomm's ( QCOM ) license
agreement with the chip technology provider.
Arm in October threatened to terminate Qualcomm's ( QCOM ) license
agreement amid a dispute over technology that powers Qualcomm's ( QCOM )
personal computer chips. Qualcomm ( QCOM ) said that threat has been
withdrawn.
"Arm recently notified us that it was withdrawing its
October 22, 2024 notice of breach, and indicated that it has no
current plan to terminate the Qualcomm ( QCOM ) architecture license
agreement," Amon told analysts on conference call on Wednesday,
discussing the company's first-quarter results.
In December, Qualcomm ( QCOM ) won key aspects of a trial in the
underlying dispute, with a jury finding that Qualcomm's ( QCOM ) personal
computer chips are properly licensed under its license agreement
with Arm.
The jury, however, could not reach a unanimous verdict
on other questions presented at the trial, and Arm has filed a
motion for a new trial.
