【财讯快报/陈孟朔】英国芯片设计公司安谋(Arm)控告芯片生产商高通
(Qualcomm,美股代码QCOM)和近期遭高通收购的芯片设计公司Nuvia,指两者
违反专利协议且侵犯Arm商标专利。诉讼案意味Arm与高通的关系将就此决裂
。 外电报导,Arm要求法院颁发禁制令,就Nuvia根据与Arm签订专利协议而
设计的芯片,勒令高通销毁这批产品,因为Arm未曾批准相关设计可供高通使
用。
高通去年以14亿美元代价收购Nuvia,有摆脱依赖Arm芯片设计的意图,事件
导致高通与Arm的关系转趋紧张。不过,Nuvia产品仍以Arm的设计为基础,涉
及应用Arm的设计专利。
5.心得/评论:
看了英文文章比较清楚,例如:
https://bit.ly/3cHOwjY
Arm told Qualcomm that it couldn’t use Nuvia’s licenses without
Arm’s approval after the company indicated that it planned on
using the startup’s tech in several products. The lawyers for Arm
claim it spent “more than a year” trying to negotiate an
agreement for Qualcomm’s use of Nuvia’s licenses.
Arm 认为就算 Qualcomm 买了 Nuvia,不代表自动继承 Nuvia
的 Arm 授权,也不能用 Qualcomm 自己的 Arm license + Nuvia 技术开发
“Arm’s complaint ignores the fact that Qualcomm has broad,
well-established license rights covering its custom-designed CPU’
s, and we are confident those rights will be affirmed.”
但 Qualcomm 认为Arm 管太多了,QCOM 要用授权做出什么 CPU 都可以。
另外XDA 那边提到 Nuvia 的 Arm 授权在三月就过期了:

According to Arm, Nuvia’s licenses expired back in March, and Arm
attempted to resolve the issue. That means that Qualcomm has
allegedly broken its agreement.
