指控25項專利侵權
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) has filed multiple lawsuits against the US semiconductor fabricator GlobalFoundries for patent infringement.
台積電針對美國半導體製造商格芯（GlobalFoundries）提起多項侵犯專利權訴訟，

These lawsuits are a direct response to a similar litigation process launched earlier by GlobalFoundries against TSMC.
台積電提出訴訟是為了反擊之前格芯控告台積電侵犯專利權，

The world’s largest contract chipmaker is accusing its American rival of illegally using its intellectual property pertaining to photolithography processes.
這次台積電反過來指控格芯非法使用其光刻製程相關的智慧財產。

In lawsuits filed in the US, Germany and Singapore, TSMC has asserted that GlobalFoundries has violated 25 of its patents pertaining to the 40 nanometer (nm), 28nm, 22nm, 14nm, and 12nm node processes.
台積電在美國、德國和新加坡控告格芯侵犯包括40奈米、28奈米、22奈米、14奈米及12奈米等製程的25項專利。

TSMC is asking the courts for an injunction against GlobalFoundries in order to prevent the latter from making and selling semiconductors that incorporate the allegedly stolen patents.
台積電將要求法院核發禁制令，禁止格芯生產及銷售侵權的半導體產品，

Given the broad nature of the claims, should TSMC emerge victorious in its lawsuits, the US company’s production lines would be severely impacted.
因為台積電主張格芯侵權涵蓋範圍廣泛，若台積電勝訴，格芯的生產線將受到嚴重的衝擊。

TSMC is also seeking “substantial monetary damages” from GlobalFoundries for unlawful use of its technologies, but it did not specify the amounts.
台積電也將對格芯尋求「實質性的損害賠償」，但並未具體指出求償金額。
substantial damages實質性的損害賠償specify(v.)具體指出
The move follows a barrage of patent infringement complaints that GlobalFoundries filed against TSMC, claiming that the Taiwanese company has illegally used 16 of its patents.
先前格芯曾對台積電提出多項專利訴訟，主張台積電侵犯其16項專利。

In response, TSMC said “GlobalFoundries’ complaints are without merit and reflect an attempt to disrupt TSMC’s business through litigation rather than trying to compete on technological merit.”
回應格芯指控，台積電表示格芯的指控毫無根據，只是意圖透過侵權訴訟來破壞台積電的業務，而非以技術在市場上競爭。

TSMC general counsel Sylvia Fang said in a statement that the “lawsuits seek to safeguard our reputation, our significant investments, our nearly 500 customers, and consumers around the world to ensure that everyone benefits from the most advanced semiconductor technologies that enable a wide range of applications, such as mobile, 5G, AI (artificial intelligence), IoT (the Internet of Things) and high-performance computing, which are valuable to the public interest.”
台積電法務長方淑華表示，這次訴訟是為了保護台積電的聲譽、龐大的投資、近500家客戶，及全世界的消費者，確保大家都能夠受惠於廣泛支援行動裝置、5G、人工智慧、物聯網，及高效能運算等應用的最先進半導體技術，這些應用對於公共利益極為重要。
