Judge hears closing arguments on two issues in Qualcomm v Arm

Judge Maryellen Noreika heard closing arguments on the two issues in Qualcomm v Arm decided by the judge rather than the jury: whether a five-year royalty suspension is enforceable and whether Arm negotiated in good faith on its next-gen architecture. A written ruling on the antitrust claim is pending.

• Judge called forcing Arm to negotiate in good faith "very, very drastic"
• Noreika said she would not regulate Arm's business under California statute
• Written decision on the antitrust claim expected after final submissions
• Jury previously sided with Qualcomm, awarding $2 in damages
