TAIPEI, May 21 (Reuters) - Tokyo Electron's Taiwan unit told Reuters in a written response on Thursday that it respects the judicial process, takes the court ruling seriously and will not appeal in the TSMC trade secret case.

In April, a Taiwan court fined the Taiwan unit of Japan's Tokyo Electron 8035.T T$150 million ($5 million) in a case involving trade secrets related to TSMC's 2330.TW sensitive chip technology.
