TAIPEI: Taiwan's Foxconn on Tuesday responded to a patent infringement lawsuit filed against it by Microsoft Corp, saying as a contract manufacturer, it has never needed to pay royalties for the U.S. giant's software.
Microsoft filed the complaint against Foxconn subsidiary FIH Mobile Ltd in the Northern District of California on Friday. It is claiming unpaid royalties for patents used in devices for clients including a top Chinese smartphone vendor.Foxconn founder and Chief Executive Terry Gou told an impromptu news conference in Taipei that"patent infringement" is not an issue for his group, which"will suffer almost no any loss" as a result of the lawsuit.
Foxconn, formally Hon Hai Precision Industry Co Ltd, rose to global prominence as assembler of Apple Inc's iPhone.It received notice of the lawsuit on Tuesday, said a person with direct knowledge of the matter, who was not authorised to speak with media and so declined to be identified.In a Facebook post earlier on Tuesday, Guo questioned why a software firm would not earn patent royalties from vendors that made use of software.
