Apple Inc., the world’s biggest technology company by value, was sued by Taiwan’s Via Technologies Inc. for allegedly infringing three U.S. patents for microprocessors used in mobile phones and tablet computers.
Via, a semiconductor maker based in Taipei, seeks a jury trial and an order to prohibit Cupertino, California-based Apple from selling products containing the inventions in the U.S., according to a complaint filed yesterday in federal court in Wilmington, Delaware.
