Macronix International Co., a Hsinchu, Taiwan-based maker of integrated circuits and memory products, said yesterday that it filed a complaint with the U.S. International Trade Commission against Spansion Inc. and some of its customers.
The Washington-based commission has the power to exclude imports of products that violate U.S. intellectual property rights. According to Macronix’s statement yesterday, Sunnyvale, California’s Spansion and eight of its customers infringe three patents related to flash memory.
