Arm Holdings is canceling a license that allowed Qualcomm to use Arm's intellectual property to design chips, escalating an ongoing legal dispute between the two companies. Arm has given Qualcomm a 60-day notice to remedy the dispute before the license cancellation takes effect. The move threatens to disrupt the smartphone and PC markets, as Qualcomm relies on Arm's technology for its processors, which are used in hundreds of millions of devices each year. This development marks a significant escalation in the feud between the chip design giant and its longtime partner.
