On September 30, 2022, Qualcomm Inc. quietly filed a counterclaim to Arm’s lawsuit against Qualcomm/Nuvia. It was a long-awaited rebuttal as it seemed Qualcomm had gone dark after the company’s General Counsel, Ann Chaplin, released a brief retort shortly after Arm went very public with their lawsuit on August 31, 2022, arguing simply that Arm had overreached itself in its claims and that Qualcomm had existing license rights as one of Arm’s biggest licensees that it would assert in its defense.
