On Thursday, Taiwan’s leading chip design company MediaTek Inc (2454. TW) said it will defend itself in court against Realtek’s (2379. TW) allegations that it paid a patent troll a “secret litigation bounty” to launch meritless cases.
Realtek Semiconductor Corp.’s California lawsuit accuses MediaTek of collaborating with IPValue Management Inc. to monopolize smart TV and set-top box chip sales.
MediaTek told the Taiwan stock exchange that it would submit evidence and defend itself in the case.
The corporation is unaffected by the dispute.
