環(huán)球鑄造公司試圖禁止美國進(jìn)口臺積電的產(chǎn)品

Contract chipmaker GlobalFoundries has sued larger rival Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC) for patent infringement, seeking to stop the defendant’s customers including Apple from importing affected products to the United States and Germany.

代工芯片制造商GlobalFoundries起訴規(guī)模更大的競爭對手臺積電(TSMC)侵犯專利權(quán)，試圖阻止包括蘋果在內(nèi)的被告客戶向美國和德國進(jìn)口受影響的產(chǎn)品。

In lawsuits filed on Monday in the United States and Germany, GlobalFoundries also sought unspecified “significant” damages from TSMC (2330.TW) based on the Taiwanese firm’s unlawful use of its technology in its “tens of billions of dollars of sales.”

在美國和德國周一提起的訴訟中，GlobalFoundries還要求臺積電(TSMC)賠償其“重大”損失，但未指明具體數(shù)額，理由是這家臺灣公司在“數(shù)百億美元的銷售”中非法使用了其技術(shù)。

The complaints alleged that chip manufacturing technologies used by TSMC infringed GlobalFoundries’ 16 patents, and sought to prevent imports of products containing chips produced with the infringing technologies, the Santa Clara, California-based firm said in a statement.

總部位于加州圣克拉拉的臺積電在一份聲明中表示，投訴稱，該公司使用的芯片制造技術(shù)侵犯了GlobalFoundries的16項專利，并試圖阻止含有使用這些技術(shù)生產(chǎn)的芯片的產(chǎn)品進(jìn)口。

It did not elaborate on products affected by the infringement, but listed Apple Inc (AAPL.O), Qualcomm Inc (QCOM.O), Alphabet Inc’s (GOOGL.O) Google, Nvidia Corp (NVDA.O), Lenovo Group (0922.HK) and Taiwan’ MediaTek Inc (2454.TW) among TSMC’s customers affected by the complaints.

聲明沒有詳細(xì)說明受侵權(quán)影響的產(chǎn)品，但將蘋果公司(Apple Inc .)、高通公司(Qualcomm Inc .)、Alphabet Inc .、英偉達(dá)公司(Nvidia Corp .)、聯(lián)想集團(Lenovo Group)和臺灣聯(lián)發(fā)科公司(MediaTek Inc .)列入受投訴影響的臺積電客戶之列。

In a move to highlight its investment in the United States amid an intensifying U.S. trade war with China over Beijing’s unfair practices involving technology transfers and intellectual property, GlobalFoundries also said the lawsuits are aimed at protecting its U.S. investment.

環(huán)球鑄造(globalfoundries)還表示，這些訴訟旨在保護其在美國的投資。目前，美國與中國因北京方面在技術(shù)轉(zhuǎn)讓和知識產(chǎn)權(quán)方面的不公平行為而爆發(fā)的貿(mào)易戰(zhàn)愈演愈烈。

“While semiconductor manufacturing has continued to shift to Asia, GlobalFoundries has bucked the trend by investing heavily in the American and European semiconductor industries,”

“盡管半導(dǎo)體制造業(yè)繼續(xù)向亞洲轉(zhuǎn)移，但全球鑄造廠逆勢大舉投資于美國和歐洲半導(dǎo)體行業(yè)，”

GlobalFoundries, which is owned by Abu Dhabi’s state investment vehicle, said.

阿布扎比國有投資機構(gòu)擁有的全球鑄造廠說。

“This action is critical ... to safeguard the American and European manufacturing base.”

“這一行動至關(guān)重要……保護美國和歐洲的制造基地。”
