During the Arm vs. Qualcomm court case, Qualcomm's CEO shared how the decision to purchase Nuvia for $1.4 billion was justified to the board.

The chief executive of Arm (O9Ty.F) has downplayed the company's ambitions to become a chip supplier in its own right at a trial against Qualcomm, a major customer that pays Arm an estimated hundreds of millions of dollars per year.

In 2022, Arm ignited a legal battle after Qualcomm continued to pay its existing royalty fees to Arm, which were allegedly much lower than what Nuvia was paying. After the two failed to come to an agreement, Arm argued the designs licensed to Nuvia were no longer valid, and that Qualcomm should destroy the technology created with them.
