Qualcomm has taken a license to patents covering Huawei's LogicFolding chip technology, according to a Bloomberg report. The deal means the US chipmaker will pay to use intellectual property developed by its Chinese rival, an unusual cross-licensing arrangement given ongoing US restrictions on technology trade with Huawei and broader tensions between Washington and Beijing over semiconductors.
Why now: A US chip giant licensing patented technology from sanctioned Chinese rival Huawei is a striking reversal amid the US-China semiconductor conflict.
