UMC said it is filing suit against Micron Semiconductor (Xi'an) Co. Ltd. and Micron Semiconductor (Shanghai) Co. Ltd. in the Fuzhou Intermediate People's Court of the People’s Republic of China (PRC). The lawsuit covers three areas that allegedly infringe upon UMC’s patent rights in China, including memory applications that relate to DDR4, SSD and memory used in graphics cards.
In the complaint, UMC has requested the court to order potential defendants to stop manufacturing, processing, importing, selling and intending to sell the allegedly infringing products, destroy all inventory and related molds and tools and demand that Micron compensate UMC for a total amount of RMB 270 million ($41.8 million) in damages.
