Qualcomm has taken a license on Huawei's LogicFolding chip patents, according to a Bloomberg report. The deal means the US chipmaker will pay to use Huawei-developed semiconductor technology, a notable turn given the two companies sit on opposite sides of the US-China tech rivalry and Huawei has been under American export restrictions for years.
Why now: A major American chip firm licensing patented technology from sanctioned Chinese rival Huawei is an unusual reversal of the usual technology flow, drawing wide attention.
