The Taiwanese chip manufacturer VIA Technologies sued the suit itself is
quite happy U.S. company Apple. Allegedly violating its processors to
iPod, iPhone, iPad and Apple TV - so presumably the Apple A4 - U.S.
Patents 6,253,312 6,253,311 and 6,754,810 from VIA. The latter has
therefore brought proceedings before the Disktriktsgericht of Delaware,
and also filed a complaint with the International Trade Commission (ITC).
VIA developed - mainly in the 1999 IDT acquired division Centaur in
Texas - not only x86 processors such as the Nano but with the daughter
of Wonder Media and system-on-Chip (SoC ) with ARM cores. These include
but not yet the core Cortex A8/A9 generation, but older are similar, but
in concept to the Apple A4. In all three disputed patents, the Centaur
is a co-founder Glenn Henry named as co-inventor.
In addition, the company through its VIA Cher Wang is chairwoman, wife
of the founder Wenchi Chen, closely connected with the world's
seventh-largest cell phone manufacturer HTC that sells more in Germany
as Nokia smartphones. However, the firm HTC sees, according to of the
chiefs of HTC America not as a direct competitor Apple. He himself spoke
only a few critical days on patent litigation.
