Yes, I remember there was a patent issue recently. Here we go, this was the
message from Xiaofan about that:

"China's Patent Reexamination Board of the State Intellectual Property
Office (SIPO) made an invalidation ruling on micro-controller instruction
set patent with the number 00800648.2 of Microchip Technology Inc."

"A semiconductor expert points out that the patent ruled as invalid is
currently
used for Microchip's medium- and high-end product line, and involves
hundreds
of models of products. The ruling is likely to threaten the company's
product
and market strategy in the Chinese market. Currently, the Asian market,
led by China, contributes to 43% of its gross operating revenues."

Take note Haier Group is a very big company. It once wanted to
acquire Maytag but failed. Shanghai Haier is its semiconductor venture.
