Qualcomm earned another victory in its legal battle with Arm Holdings.

This week, Qualcomm shared that Arm has withdrawn its threat to terminate its licensing agreement with Qualcomm.

Qualcomm and Arm found themselves in a game of legal chicken late last year.

Those chips are also used in datacenters, IoT, and manufacturing.

The case between Arm and Qualcomm centered around the latter’sSnapdragon Xprocessors.

Those chips were built on tech licensed from Arm, but Arm claimed Qualcomm did so without proper licensing.

In December, a jury determined that Qualcomm created its Snapdragon X chips with licensing from Arm.

It also means consumers can assume Snapdragon powered PCs will remain on store shelves.
