Dear NXP Semiconductors,
I am writing to report a potential violation of the license agreement for your Guider software.
As we understand, the license for your Guider software explicitly prohibits its commercial use in the development of products based on non-NXP series chips. However, a major multinational corporation is currently using this software in the development of commercial products based on Rockchip series main control chips, which appears to be a clear breach of your license terms.
I would like to ask: Does NXP plan to take any enforcement actions to protect its intellectual property rights in this matter? Additionally, if I were to file a formal complaint regarding this violation, what specific evidence would you require to initiate an investigation?
I look forward to your response.
Your company's Guider software license explicitly prohibits its use in commercial development of non-NXP series chips. A large multinational corporation has violated this license by applying the software to commercial products using Rockchip's main control chips. Will your company take legal action? If I wish to file a complaint, what evidence should I provide?
Thank you for raising this concern.
GUI Guider is provided subject to license terms that govern its permitted use, including limitations regarding supported hardware platforms. NXP expects users of its software tools to comply with the applicable license terms.
We are not aware of the specific circumstances referenced in your post and therefore cannot comment on any particular company, product, or alleged activity. If you have specific information regarding potential misuse of GUI Guider, please provide additional details through the appropriate direct NXP channels (rather than via community postings) so that the information can be reviewed. Examples of helpful information may include the identity of the organization involved, details regarding the product or project, or other supporting information.
We appreciate your interest in NXP products and software tools.
