If you can't compete, troll

TSMC no doubt has plenty of patents that GF is and has violated, and if GF was viable in the future as a foundry to compete with TSMC they'd almost certainly enter into a cross licensing agreement. But GF won't use any of TSMC's patents for e.g. 7nm, 5nm and so on because GF is no longer a leading edge foundry, which allows them the opportunity to act as a patent troll.
