Finally, a corporation gets to have the same sort of class-action-lawsuit experience that we common folk do!
The real issue is not the damages, but:
> whether Arm's breach lets Qualcomm stop paying royalties under the ALA for five years, which, by some estimates, could be worth billions of dollars
Which is the next decision for the court. It is a clickbait headline, shame on the author too.

How much lawyers made!
Classic HN low-effort first post that could be written from just the headline.
