BlackBerry said on Wednesday Qualcomm was asked to pay the Canadian company about $814.9 million in an interim arbitration decision over royalty overpayments.

Blackberry's stock surged over 15% in pre-market trading on the news.

The companies in 2016 decided to arbitrate a dispute over Qualcomm's agreement to cap certain royalties applied to payments made by BlackBerry under a licensing deal.
