TAIPEI: Taiwan's Asustek Computer Inc said on Monday it had filed a patent infringement suit against International Business Machines Corp in a US court earlier this month.
"We sued IBM for its infringing two of our patents related to storage on the Internet and server technology," said an Asustek spokesman who declined to give more details.
Asustek's move is part of a legal battle that started in December, when IBM filed a complaint with the US International Trade Commission against Asustek and its North American subsidiary ASUS Computer International.
IBM sought import restrictions on some Asustek computer products and components, which it claims infringed its patents.
Asustek produces a wide range of information technology products, including personal computers, motherboards, servers and broadband equipment.
