The US is pretty dynamic. So is every country. To the extent it appears not to be there is usually some entity with it's thumb on the scale.

The US is pretty dynamic. So is every country. To the extent it appears not to be there is usually some entity with it's thumb on the scale.
Who is going to recreate EUV machines faster ASML partnering with China or US recreating ASML machines?
Eminent domain can apply to intellectual property. There is even plenty of US precedent for this in nearly the same circumstances. Then again their need for defensible IP is precisely why ASML would almost certainly never make the partnership you suggest.
Given that the author of this thread suggests that ASML and US are heading towards a divorce, why would ASML still respect IP laws?
