TSMC Will Vigorously Defend its Proprietary Technology in Response to GlobalFoundries Complaints
Hsinchu, Taiwan, R.O.C. Aug. 27, 2019 TSMC is in the process of reviewing the complaints filed by GlobalFoundries on August 26, but
is confident that GlobalFoundries allegations are baseless. As a leading innovator, TSMC invests billions of dollars each year to independently develop its world-class, leading-edge semiconductor manufacturing technologies. As a result, TSMC
has established one of the largest semiconductor portfolios with more than 37,000 patents worldwide and a top 10 ranking for US patent grants for 3 consecutive years since 2016. We are disappointed to see a foundry peer resort to meritless lawsuits
instead of competing in the marketplace with technology. TSMC is proud of its technology leadership, manufacturing excellence, and unwavering commitment to customers. We will fight vigorously, using any and all options, to protect our proprietary
technologies.
