Qualcomm already had a design license prior to the acquisition of Nuvia. They were doing custom cores back in the original Kryo days which were an in-house custom ARMv8.0-A design.
- bluGill 2y agoThe terms of that license was specific to what they can do. ARM is claiming it doesn't cover some of the things they are doing. I'm not enough of a lawyer to figure out who is right.
- dagmx 2y agoTheir design license doesn’t extend to Nuvia’s IP however according to ARM. That is the entire crux of the issue. ARM gave Nuvia a specific license, and then Nuvia was acquired which transferred the IP to a license that ARM did not extend it to.
