On July 28, the Patent Review Committee heard a statement saying Intel had infringed patent 201110240931.5, commonly referred to as the FinFET patent. This patent dates from 2011. He came from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in particular, from its subdivision – the Institute of Microelectronics.
In damages for patent infringement, Chinese patent holders are demanding compensation in the amount of 200 million yuan, which at the current exchange rate is about $ 28.7 million.
