"while I don't believe we will ever know all the facts of this case, it has fundamentally changed the relationship between Qualcomm and Arm, and possibly the broader Arm ecosystem. These court battles are not good for either company, so I had always hoped that things would be settled before they ever went to court."
"ended up where it was expected to end up,"
"obviously, any judge is going to try to do as much as they can [during a trial] to make sure that their judgment stays final."
"They have already invested the time in it and their incentive would be to stay with Arm rather than move away from it,"
A court ruling has fundamentally changed the relationship between Qualcomm and Arm and may affect the broader Arm ecosystem. Prolonged court battles are detrimental to both companies and settlement would have avoided escalation. The ruling's outcome was largely expected, which makes appealing difficult because judges seek to preserve the finality of their judgments. Qualcomm currently remains comfortable using Arm technology due to prior investment and proven performance. Qualcomm’s incentive is to continue with Arm rather than incur the cost and risk of moving away.
