Super Micro issued a following statement regarding recent collaboration with the Taiwanese authorities to prevent illicit diversion of server technology. Highlights include: "Supermicro is committed to protecting our advanced technologies and intellectual property, and we are proud to have worked closely with Taiwanese authorities on the recent event, helping to prevent the illicit diversion of our highly sought-after systems into the restricted China market. Our collaboration with authorities in Taiwan resulted in the arrest of three suspects and the seizure of 50 servers that had been deceptively acquired after being sold by Supermicro to an authorized reseller...This case highlights the challenges that can arise when products are resold through multiple downstream parties beyond direct manufacturer control...Supermicro will continue to cooperate with law enforcement and government officials in the United States, Taiwan and other jurisdictions to ensure our technology is distributed as lawfully intended".
