Qualcomm's Suit Against Arm Goes to a Jury in Delaware
- Jury selection is set for Friday 2 October and the jury trial for Monday 5 October 2026 in Qualcomm Inc. v. Arm Holdings plc before Judge Maryellen Noreika in Wilmington, with the pretrial conference on 28 September at 2 pm[1].
- Qualcomm sued in April 2024, saying Arm failed to provide deliverables owed under Qualcomm's architecture licence (ALA); later amendments added Arm's attempt to terminate that licence and publicising it, Arm's failure to offer TLA licences at commercially reasonable prices (June 2025) and its failure to negotiate in good faith (March 2026)[3].
- Qualcomm filed a matching complaint against Arm Ltd. on 8 January 2026, consolidated with the case, and the trial moved from 9 March 2026 to 5 October 2026[4][5].
- On 14 July 2026 the court denied Arm's motion to strike the amended complaint; on 8 September it let Qualcomm present its tortious-interference claim to the jury and kept its California unfair-competition claim alive[2][3].
- Qualcomm has described the case as being about Arm's 'pattern of conduct seeking to hinder innovation and better position Arm's own products over its long-standing partners''[6].
