Arm Cancels Qualcomm's Instruction Set, IP License for Chip Design

Arm has escalated its dispute with Qualcomm by canceling the company's license to use its instruction set for designing chips, according to a report from Bloomberg. If not resolved within a 60-day notice period, Qualcomm could be forced to stop selling products or face claims for massive damages. The dispute stems from Arm's purchase of chip-design startup Nuvia in 2022, with Qualcomm arguing that its existing agreement covers the activities of the company it purchased.
