Accused Apple of infringing on its patents
According to the report, while there hasn’t been any word from Apple in this case, just yet. Wen-Chi Chen, VIA head stated that they were keen on protecting the interest of the shareholders, and their own. Taiwan-based, VIA has approached the U.S. International Trade Commission, and also to an American District Court with the infringement appeal. Reports further suggest that VIA’s infringement claims against Apple may have a lot to do with the ongoing patent lawsuits that Apple is fighting with smartphone manufacturers like HTC and Samsung, among others.
