USITC Begins Section 337 Investigation on TSMC
The US International Trade Commission (USITC) has initiated a Section 337 investigation on the importation of certain semiconductor products into the US. TSMC and Samsung have been named as respondents in the investigation. TSMC rejects the allegations of infringement by STC.UNM that led to the investigation, and will vigorously defend against those allegations. STC.UNM has resorted to litigation in an attempt to improperly extract a license fee.
TSMC respects the intellectual property of others, but in this case, STC.UNM’s claims are without merit. We believe the International Trade Commission will agree when it learns all the facts.
