American semiconductor fabricator GlobalFoundries made news last year when it announced that it was bowing out of the 7nm race. GlobalFoundries was AMD’s attempt at in-house chip fabrication, but unfortunate timing for the project didn’t let it reach full potential. Today, in a press release, GlobalFoundries has announced that it’s suing Taiwanese fab TSMC for violation of patents. Take a look below for more details.

In an interesting development, GlobalFoundries has decided to sue TSMC, Apple, Qualcomm, Broadcom, nVidia and other companies for violating its patents. The primary target of the fab’s lawsuit is TSMC, as GloFo claims that the Taiwanese fab has violated no less than 16 patents. Additionally, since Apple and other companies are the ones that import products with TSMC’s products, they’re also in GlobalFoundries’ crosshairs.
