Shortly after the report about the cancellation of Qualcomm's Arm architecture license agreement (ALA) was published, the companies involved traded further accusations. Arm has confirmed that it decided to terminate Qualcomm's ALA to 'protect the unparalleled ecosystem,' whereas Qualcomm accused Arm of anticompetitive conduct.
"Following Qualcomm's repeated material breaches of Arm's license agreement, Arm is left with no choice but to take formal action requiring Qualcomm to remedy its breach or face termination of the agreement," a statement by Arm reads. "This is necessary to protect the unparalleled ecosystem that Arm and its highly valued partners have built over more than 30 years. Arm is fully prepared for the trial in December and remains confident that the Court will find in Arm's favor."
