Korea's Fair Trade Commission reportedly raids Arm's Seoul office amid Qualcomm licensing dispute — stems from allegations of unfair market practices

Korea's Fair Trade Commission conducted an on-site investigation at Arm's Seoul office related to allegations of unfair market practices in its licensing dispute with Qualcomm. The probe centers on concerns that Arm restricted access to its chip-architecture technologies, particularly those acquired through Nuvia. Qualcomm has accused Arm of altering its business model to disadvantage existing licensees. The ongoing legal battle has seen Qualcomm secure a victory in the U.S., but regulatory scrutiny in Korea and other jurisdictions continues. The outcome of these investigations will likely shape the future of Arm's licensing practices and its relationships with major tech players like Qualcomm and Samsung.
