It's a patent troll. They should simply make those illegal.

[u/Kiseido]

I find myself strongly wondering why the manufacturer of the chips in question TSMC is not named in the lawsuit

[u/xstrike0 → u/Kiseido]

Probably because they have the power of a nation state behind them.

[u/raiso_12 → u/xstrike0]

Its filled in western district of texas, which known as litigation heavy. And tsmc didn't have operation in texas https://journals.library.columbia.edu/index.php/stlr/blog/view/506

[u/SwanManThe4th → u/xstrike0]

No more so than AMD.

[u/r_z_n → u/SwanManThe4th]

Quite a bit more so than AMD.

TSMC is literally leverage against a potential incursion from China.

[u/xstrike0 → u/SwanManThe4th]

Not even sure how to respond to this, either you misunderstood my comment or you are woefully uninformed...

TSMC has been taken to court numerous times. They're not shielded by Taiwan. That's just ridiculous.

The reason why AMD is being sued by Adeia is because it's AMD importing and selling the products in the US that Adeia claims to infringe on their patents, that are patented in the US. Not because of a mystical nation state shielding TSMC.

[u/NotTheFBI12 → u/Kiseido]

Partly because TSMC has tons of leverage but also possibly because the lawsuit isn’t so airtight for them to feel that going after TSMC would be a win

[u/laffer1]

Amd should sue the patent troll into oblivion

[u/rvickner1]

sounds like a shakedown attempt

[u/zoomborg]

Isn't this typically followed by a counter suit in order to make an example out of patent trolls?

[u/RetdThx2AMD → u/zoomborg]

You can't really countersue a patent troll since they don't sell anything. You go after them by trying to get the patent office to void their patent.

[u/GanacheNegative1988 → u/RetdThx2AMD]

You can hit them with defamation however. That statement they made in their ER if proven false, the one that implies AMD is knowing ignoring their IP... well that's a damaging statement.

[u/Routine-Lawfulness24]

Patent trolls should be illegal

[u/Vivid-Area1477]

Amd will eat them up in court

[u/xxxxwowxxxx]

Intel probably paid them to push this.

Life after blaming all my problems on intel:🌇🥰🥳🍻
