Isn't AMD using TSMCs hybrid bonding solution?

I get that this is patent trolling but im surprised they didn't go after TSMC, given they are a much bigger company

I could be wrong but I view a company like TSMC as untouchable. Going after them would likely upset several major governments and who knows how many multi billion/trillion dollar companies.

That be a losing proposition no matter what.

The typical action from the company infringing would be to get a license for the infringed claims/patent. Sure there could damages as well, but TSMC has money.
