Realtek’s lawsuit claims that MediaTek conspired with patent trolls to file meritless infringement lawsuits, aimed at derailing Realtek's operations and resources toward product development.
The DoJ's Statement of Interest expresses concern about the 'anticompetitive potential' of the litigation bounty agreement, urging courts to view such provisions with skepticism.
Realtek's discovery revealed a licence agreement that purportedly contains provisions for MediaTek to pay bounties to patent assertion companies for pursuing litigation against them.
MediaTek allegedly controls over 70% of the market share for the chips in focus, making the claims regarding their practices significant to the competitive landscape.
