That much is probably true but fwiw, US IP courts tend to be objective-ish since discovery tends to weed out bullshit claims fairly well. Record US imports from China should be indicative of something lol
Off-topic: like Oracle vs Google case in which Oracle argued API’s are copyrighted?
Yes-ish (?) though YMTC/CMXT would probably be more plain vanilla patent/trade secret lawsuits
Regardles of IP/patents or no IP/patents, the fact it will take a long, long time for YMTC/CMXT to fulfill the needs of China alone.
foxconn is just an assembling company that has little technology in chips. This plant is just for packaging and testing.
How much of the Chinese market demand for ram chips is for exporting after the ram chips have been placed inside a computer or smartphone?
TBH, I find it hard to believe that the US government will allow chinese semiconductors, specially chips, to be sold in the US. But i dont think that should be a concern to the chinese in the near term. They first have to conquer their national market.
I am sorry, but I have no figures. I just used common sense. China uses a lot of imported NAND and DRAM chips. It will not be overnight that local production will replace those imports.
Unlikely in the short term since semiconductor manufacturing is a capital intensive industry. Labour cost only play a very small part. Since majority of the equipment are imported, Chinese manufacturers costs are likely higher than foreign competitors (support/volume discount/expertise/defect rate/etc). This is likely the reason so few Chinese private companies are willing to enter the market before.
