Arm , a semiconductor technology licensing firm, said Wednesday that former Qualcomm Chief Executive Paul Jacobs has joined its board of directors — an unexpected move given that Arm and Qualcomm are embroiled in an increasingly contentious legal battle linked to high-performance processors.
“We have worked together for many years,” said Jacobs. “He asked me if I would be interested. I thought it would be interesting.” In August, Arm filed a lawsuit against Qualcomm in Delaware federal court. It accused the San Diego company of violating chip architecture intellectual property licenses linked to a new line of high-performance processors for laptops, digital cars, smartphones and other computing devices stemming from Qualcomm’s $1.4 billion acquisition of Nuvia.
The company also contends Arm is seeking payback for Qualcomm’s opposition to the proposed sale of Arm to graphics chip maker Nvidia, which fell through amid regulatory scrutiny.
