News Feed: German Court Bans Intel's Chips.
Following a German court decision, R2 prevailed and obtained an injunction aimed at stopping Intel's infringed goods on the German market and taking back previously infringed goods. Originally, he thought that this matter should be over, but it was not. The impact of Intel's chip ban is spreading rapidly and could hurt many companies along the entire value chain.
Impact: A number of Taiwanese companies may be impacted.
Intel is one of the largest CPUs** in the world, and it has a very broad business area. As soon as this ban is implemented, many famous brand-name products, such as Asus, Acer, HP, will be hit. In addition, there are also some wafer factories involved, such as Quanta, Wistron, Compal, Inventec, etc. This involves many Taiwanese companies, and if the scale of the ban is confirmed, many Taiwanese manufacturers will be greatly impacted. Against this backdrop, Intel must withdraw from the United States.
Intel's move: Ask the United States to adjudicate in order to stabilize its ** chain partnership.
Intel is very unhappy with the ban imposed on it by the United States** because the company's patent rights in the United States have been revoked. Intel wants to pressure Germany to reopen the case of the annulment of the R2 patent, citing the conclusion of the U.S. judgment. This also means that Intel hopes to use the previous ruling made by the United States to stabilize its ** chain cooperation and raise a warning to R2. However, Intel may not end well on this issue. First of all, since the U.S. ruled that its patent was invalid, R2 itself planned to enter the European market. In such a situation, even if Germany lifts the sanctions against Intel, it will be difficult for it to escape Europe's blame. Second, the CEO of R2 said that R2 only Intel was blamed by R2 because Intel had tried to make a possible investment with R2, but ended up mysteriously withdrawing in 2015. This article alone is suspicious enough, not to mention that R2 still has evidence of patent infringement in his hands. Therefore, if Intel cannot produce conclusive proof, it will be difficult to win by relying on the ruling of the US court alone.
*Chain response: The impact on the future is not yet clear.
So far, none of the top vendors have reacted to this matter, and they don't know if Intel's ban will have any impact on them. However, there is no doubt that the accident has caused huge waves in the industry, and it is difficult to have a conclusion.
Personal opinion. Intel's ban has spread around the world and has had a huge impact on the industry. This brings a lot of risk to multiple businesses, and it also brings a lot of uncertainty to the business. Whether it is a well-known brand or a foundry, if it is affected by Intel's ban, it will have a great impact on the company, and even cause a big loss. At the same time, this accident also shows us the importance of intellectual property protection. Patent infringement can not only cause great damage to the reputation and brand reputation of the enterprise, but also to the brand and brand of the enterprise. Therefore, in product development and research, enterprises must pay special attention to patent-related issues, enhance the protection of their intellectual property rights, and ensure their legitimate operations.
Abstract: Intel's ban on chips has aroused widespread attention and heated discussions in the whole industry, and all enterprises in the industrial chain participating in it will face great crises and challenges. In today's rapid development of information, the protection of intellectual property is particularly important. Enterprises should improve their awareness of intellectual property rights and improve their ability to use intellectual property rights, so that they will not be held accountable by the judicial authorities on the basis of intellectual property rights, nor will they lose the trust of the market. At the same time, courts around the world should uphold fairness and professionalism when dealing with patent disputes, so as to ensure correct judgment results and create an atmosphere conducive to the development of scientific and technological innovation.
