特拉华州威尔明顿，10月5日：芯片制造商高通（Qualcomm）与芯片技术公司Arm Holdings长期不和，周一将再次出庭。高通指控Arm扣留了根据合同应提供的芯片测试工具。

Arm, owned by Japan's SoftBank Group, has denied that it breached the contract and argued that it did not damage Qualcomm's chip deals which it described as speculative.
Arm还反驳称，高通不能就Arm终止函的泄露寻求赔偿，因为高通曾向媒体泄露有关针对Arm的反垄断调查的非公开细节。
Arm has also countered that Qualcomm cannot seek damages for the leak of the Arm termination letter because Qualcomm leaked non-public details of antitrust probes into Arm to the media.
