Two firms accusing TSMC suspected of being 'patent trolls': TIPO head
Posted on 2026-06-16 18:12:14
The head of Taiwan's Intellectual Property Office says two companies
currently suing T-S-M-C for patent infringement appear to be so-called
'patent trolls'.

T-I-P-O Director General Liao Cheng-wei (廖承威) says the two Irish firms are
seeking licensing fees or settlement payments rather than producing products
based on the patents in question.

The companies have filed a complaint with the U-S International Trade
Commission, accusing T-S-M-C of using their patented technology in chip
production.

Liao says T-S-M-C is challenging the validity of the patents through the U-S
patent review process.

He also expressed confidence in the chipmaker's research capabilities and
intellectual property portfolio.

The case remains under review by U-S authorities.
