recently, According to the 'Korean Times' report, in addition to the recent suspicion of the lawsuit, another DRAM giant SK hynix has suffered from the theft of intellectual property.
The Korea Times said that SK hynix is the latest victim of Chinese commercial espionage, from which Chinese companies have stolen important DRAM intellectual property rights because Chinese companies have no time and no willingness to obtain licenses from DRAM manufacturers.
Samsung engineers said: 'Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix have become new targets. In the semiconductor field, patents are crucial. The company must protect the research results they have spent decades, but Chinese companies are trying to infringe Samsung and SK patents.
In addition, Samsung and SK Hynix are closely watching the patent dispute between Micron Technology and Fujian Jinhua Integrated Circuit Co., Ltd., as the US company has been banned in the lawsuit, the Korean company is also very nervous.
Because Samsung, SK hynix is bigger than Micron's memory, flash memory suppliers, they are worried that the future will also be subject to sanctions pressure.
More interesting is a foreign netizen commented under this news: 'Usually I would say that stealing intellectual property is not good, but considering that these companies have monopolized the price of memory in the past five years, the price of DDR4 has tripled, and their profits have also set a record, so I couldn't give a Rat's ass (slang, meaning no care).
