A curious twist in the Micron-UMC lawsuit about the theft of DRAM IP, is that UMC says the China court hearing the case has issued an injunction banning Micron from selling certain products in China but Micron says it has received no such injunction.
“Micron has not been served with the preliminary injunction referred to in the statements issued by United Microelectronics Corp (UMC) and Fujian Jinhua Integrated Circuit Co. (Jinhua) dated July 3,” says Micron.
According to UMC, the injunction relates to SSDs and memory sticks.
The court is the Fuzhou Intermediate People’s Court of China.
With Trump and Xi playing trade war games – for instance China’s long-delayed approval of the Qualcomm-NXP M&A – there is now no knowing what US companies can expect when they trade in China.
