ASUS Sues GIGABYTE for ‘Defamatory and False Accusations’
ASUS claims that Gigabyte, without a full understanding of ASUS’ engineering design and methods, has made false accusations against ASUS motherboards’ EPU features and the quality of ASUS’ motherboard components. ASUS has reported such acts to the Fair Trade Commission of Taiwan and on May 23rd 2008, ASUS has officially filed a lawsuit against Gigabyte for those defamatory acts.
Gigabyte misused a photograph with blown-up (exploded) capacitors and led the audience to believe it was an ASUS product to support its false allegations that ASUS uses questionable quality components. However, the image was found to be taken from a photograph of a VGA card manufactured by another vendor. The action of misrepresenting a third party product to be an ASUS product is truly defamatory and clearly outside the realm of decent competition.
