TI, Tech Firms Want Ukrainian Lawsuit Dismissed

Texas Instruments, Intel and two other semiconductor and technology companies are asking a Dallas federal judge to dismiss lawsuits brought by five Ukrainian citizens who claim that microchips, processors and programmable devices made by the four companies are being used by the Russian military in its war against Ukraine.

A star-studded crew of trial lawyers on both sides of the litigation will present arguments Tuesday to U.S. District Judge Sidney Fitzwater about whether the lawsuits claiming that TI, Mansfield-based Mouser Electronics, Advanced Micro Devices and Intel sold their technology to third parties, which they knew or should have known were then providing those technologies to Russia to use in the war in Ukraine.
