Why people are not talking about the REAL winners? How much lawyers made!

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. (Reposting this as a top level comment in case the low effort one I reply to gets downvoted)

Why the FU to Qualcomm? Obviously the Jury/Judge did not think there was much economic damage but how about Non-Economic Damages? I would think that there would be some of those?
