Qualcomm's central processors are properly licensed under an agreement with Arm Holdings, a jury found in a trial in U.S. federal court that removed some, but not all, uncertainty around the mobile chipmaker's expansion into the laptop market.

The jury sided with Qualcomm after Arm argued the chipmaker breached a licensing agreement through a $1.4 billion acquisition of Nuvia, but the case isn’t over yet.

A federal jury in the United States on Friday delivered a key win to mobile commputing titan Qualcomm in a licensing dispute with Arm, although proceedings between the chipmakers ended in mistrial.
