From the Court: ARM v Qualcomm AND Qualcomm v. Arm.

We got one document from Qualcomm regarding what to do about the bench trial.
Qualcomm has dropped its defenses of waiver, estoppel, and laches. It is now only asking the court to rule int its favor on the unclean hands defense. This ties a bit into the counter claim case Qualcomm v. Arm and some of the other coverage we had on this months ago.

Qualcomm is primarily arguing that Arm acted with “unclean hands” by failing to safeguard confidential information, specifically violating Sections 15.1(b) of the Nuvia ALA and the Nuvia TLA. Qualcomm seeks a ruling in its favor on this equitable defense, which would bar Arm’s claims.

Qualcomm’s Defense of “Unclean Hands”:
  • Qualcomm argues that Arm itself breached the Nuvia ALA and TLA by failing to destroy or return Nuvia’s confidential information after terminating the agreements.
  • Qualcomm showed in the trial Arm used Nuvia’s confidential configuration files to compare with Qualcomm’s designs.
  • Qualcomm presented testimony that Arm employees retained and accessed Nuvia’s confidential information well after the agreement’s termination.

Failure to Destroy Confidential Data:
  • Arm’s engineers admitted they never received instructions to delete Nuvia’s confidential information and continued to access it.
  • Use of Confidential Information in Products: Arm incorporated confidential features requested by Nuvia into its own Coherent Mesh Network (CMN) product, which is now sold to competitors.
  • Financial Gain from Nuvia’s Features: Arm continues to receive royalties from licensing CMN products that include Nuvia’s confidential information.

Other legal crap the lawyers had to put in:
  • Qualcomm cites case law supporting the application of the “unclean hands” doctrine, arguing that Arm’s misconduct should prevent it from enforcing contract claims.
  • They contend that Arm’s actions make it inequitable for the court to rule in Arm’s favor on its breach of contract claims.


In Qualcomm V. Arm:

Pursuant to the January 8 Oral Order, the parties request that a 5-day jury trial be held starting April 20, 2026, if amenable to the Court. The parties further request that due to scheduling conflicts, the pretrial conference be held the week of March 16, 2026 if amenable to the Court. The parties were unable to reach agreement on the deadline for substantial completion of document production (paragraph 7(b)); Qualcomm seeks an earlier date while Arm seeks a later date. The parties were also unable to agree on the location of depositions (paragraph 7(f)(ii)).

I'm sure Judge Noreika is super tired of these two companies, they come off as a divorced couple.
