Via Technologies, a designer of core-logic sets, controllers and application processors, on Tuesday said that it had filed a civil suit in the Taipei District Court seeking damages of at least NT$4.137 billion (US$138 million) from Asustek Computer and its subsidiary Asmedia Technology. Via accuses Asus and Asmedia of using its IP while developing USB 3.0 chips.

The lawsuit is being filed to recover the losses incurred as a result of the alleged misappropriation of Via intellectual property related to USB technology. Earlier the Taiwan Prosecutor decided to pursue criminal proceedings against a subsidiary of Asustek Computer and four of that subsidiary’s employees for the alleged misappropriation of trade secrets from Via Technologies. Also named in the suit are Asmedia chairman Jerry Shen, Asmedia president Lin Chewei, and other Asmedia employees involved in the case.


但理由係好搞笑

Prior to that, Asmedia had no expertise in the USB field, according to the lawsuit. Given the complexity and legacy USB 1.0, 1.1, and 2.0 IP required for the development of USB 3.0 chips, the Taiwan Prosecutor concluded in the criminal case filing that “it is extremely difficult to develop and take such chips into mass production in such a short time frame [of one year].”

That doesn't mean VIA has no USB patents, such as this:
