SMIC, the mainland's top maker of made-to-order microchips, denied
yesterday an accusation by bigger rival TSMC that it violated a patent
deal, and said it had filed a counter-complaint against the Taiwan
company.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd (TSMC), the world's top
contract chip maker, said last month it had filed a lawsuit in the US
California State Superior Court against Semiconductor Manufacturing
International Corp (SMIC) and its units in Shanghai, Beijing and the
United States.
"In addition to filing a response strongly denying the allegations of
TSMC in the United States lawsuit, SMIC filed a cross-complaint against
TSMC, seeking, among other things, damages for TSMC's breach of contract
and breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing," SMIC said
in a statement.
