Can you imagine that the American technology giant Intel (intel) will also be sent to court for infringing on my country's technology patents and was ruling by the state. What exactly happened? What reaction did give in the face of Intel's infringement? And what will happen to intel in the end?
Today, let the water bear cuckoo take you to see the truth of the matter and understand the dilemma facing Intel at the moment!
[intel infringement]
Since the Sino-US trade war gradually came to an end, the United States, which suffered a great loss in trade, has gradually focused the focus of the Sino-US game on technology. tries to use China's shortcomings in chip manufacturing to suppress the development of China's chip industry. However, since the chip ban came into effect, my country has awakened, understood the importance of chip autonomy, and began to invest in the development of the semiconductor industry.
Huawei , Shanghai Microelectronics and other companies have successively entered the market, and famous scientific research institutions such as the Chinese Academy of Sciences and major universities have also joined in to promote the development of the entire chip industry in China.
And as this competition that began with technology continues to escalate, the United States' ambitions have gradually emerged in front of the public. It not only spent huge amounts of money to support local chip company Intel, but also pretended to invite TSMC , Samsung , and ASML to build factories in the United States, with the intention of transferring its core technology and mastering the global chip supply chain.
Under such circumstances, China also launched the "Oriental Chip Port" plan, and the United States counterattacked. It can be said that there is a stalemate between the two. However, after the ruling of Intel's infringement of the Chinese Academy of Sciences patent infringement, this situation quietly changed!
It is understood that Intel's Core processor uses a FinFET technology, that is, the fin field effect transistor technology. technology can effectively improve the occurrence of leakage and significantly improve the overall performance of the chip. However, the technology applied by Intel infringes the patent of the Institute of Microelectronics, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
[The evil person complains first? 】
As early as 2018, the Chinese Academy of Sciences issued a warning to Intel and demanded Intel to compensate 200 million yuan, while banning the sale of series of products with related infringing patents.
For Intel, compensation of 200 million yuan is a small matter, but the second condition proposed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences is that the ban on selling products involving infringement is difficult for Intel. After all, the application scope of fin field effect transistor technology is too large. So Intel became a hooligan. Not only did it not reach a settlement with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, instead filed an application for invalidation of fin field effect transistor patents to the court in 2018 and 2019, hoping to invalidate this patent of the Chinese Academy of Sciences , forcing the Chinese Academy of Sciences to lose ownership of the patent, so that it can avoid the fact that it infringes on the Chinese Academy of Sciences patent, but both times failed.
It is obvious that anyone with discerning eyes can see how bad Intel's behavior is this time. However, Intel, which failed both applications, still did not give up and submitted the patent invalidation application again last year. Until in recent days, the application results were officially released, , and this time, there is no doubt that Intel lost!
In early September, the State Intellectual Property Office made a ruling: determines that the Chinese Academy of Sciences still has all legal rights and interests in FinFET patents, and Intel's application was rejected!
Not only that, Intel also filed an application for invalidation of the patent with the US Patent and Trademark Office, but was still rejected by the US.
All of this means that the patent of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is still within the scope of protection of patent law , and intel's move has undoubtedly infringed on the patent technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences for nearly 10 years, and during this period, it has effectively communicated with the Chinese Academy of Sciences and paid patent fees!
In this regard, some US media also said that the Chinese Academy of Sciences has obtained a large number of patents related to integrated circuit , and most of them are related to chip manufacturing. Intel wants to avoid the Chinese Academy of Sciences for development, so is not very likely to be put in its position, correct its attitude, and reaching a reconciliation with the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
. For Intel, it has no other choice, it can only compensate according to the requirements put forward by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and find a settlement with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, otherwise it will face greater losses.
Since the chip dispute started in 2018, we have been restricted everywhere in the field of semiconductor , and we have nothing else to do except to focus on development. But now the emergence of things such as the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Shanghai Zhizhen has once again seen that China is fully capable of launching a counterattack in the field of semiconductors! , but based on the healthy development of the global semiconductor industry, we did not do so.
Of course, from a personal perspective, if Intel remains unchanged this time and is unwilling to admit its own mistakes, then in the face of such a "patent hooligan", we can also fight back in in the form of a rogue! Let them understand the strength of China's chip industry!
