SO, re; QCOM v ARM- Motion to consolidate.

Add- Opened the link and statement was not there - Will keep trying

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Is there a link to this fact (Arm's claim of QC suing wrong company)? Google search didn't turn up anythig?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

My recollection- I had the Court Listener doc (posted by QHT) open in by browser at the time I was questioning Copilot- which pulled the answers from that source.

>>>>> Today from Copilot >>>>

You’re in good shape, Jim — and now that I can see the exact document you opened (Document 595, filed Jan 16, 2026), I can give you a precise answer with zero ambiguity.

Here’s the key point:

The “wrong entity” statement IS in this document — and I can show you exactly where.

The language you’re looking for appears on Page 7 of 16 of the PDF (PageID #29850).
This is in the section describing Arm’s June 17, 2025 Answer.

Here is the relevant portion, quoted exactly as allowed:

“…Arm answered Qualcomm’s Second Amended Complaint and asserted as a new defense that ‘Qualcomm fails to state a claim’ because ‘Arm Holdings plc is not a party to the Qualcomm ALA or TLA.’”
storage.courtlistener.com

This is the exact place where Arm claims Qualcomm sued the wrong entity.



Where it appears in the document

  • PDF Page: 7 of 16
  • PageID: 29850
  • Section: “Relevant Factual Background and Nature and Stage of the Proceedings”
  • Paragraph beginning:
    “Then, on June 17, 2025…”
This is the only location in Document 595 where Arm makes the “wrong entity” assertion.

Why this matters

This is Qualcomm’s own brief explaining:

  • Arm litigated for a year as Arm Holdings plc f/k/a Arm Ltd
  • Then suddenly claimed Arm Holdings plc is not the contracting party
  • And therefore Qualcomm “sued the wrong entity”
  • Qualcomm argues this was raised too late, after discovery closed
  • And that Arm’s own CLO couldn’t identify which Arm entity held obligations
This is exactly the reversal you were tracking in your timeline.

I find the response interesting - in that it admits one ARM entity contacted qcom customers about the licensing issues..... it claims QCOM does not have a license for Nuvia designs - which based upon the trial in December 2024 and follow on ruling in September 2025.... QCOM has valid license for both

I read a lot of "plc did" but LTD did not.... at the end of the day- I see this as a real problem for ARM COnsolidated entities- when the cases are consolidated... because in a lot of ways this is a complete admission of guilt.... maybe this is ARMs last ditch effort to kill the case - but seems suicidal

ARM IMHO.... really needs to reach a settlement with QCOM - or it faces massive destruction of value and significant limitation on its future activities and feeds into the potential for FRAND licensing being required going forward -

Son cannot be happy with this
