April 13, 2007 – New Wave Research Inc. says it has obtained a preliminary injunction ruling in Taiwan against Japan’s Laser Solutions, prohibiting that firm from manufacturing, selling, or importing some of its equipment that allegedly infringes New Wave patents unless and until a final judgment is issued denying the patent claims.
The ruling is based on New Wave’s accusation that Laser Solutions’s Rapyulas MP-T1 030 and MPT-2030 tools infringe upon New Wave’s patented AccuScribe systems technology, patented in Taiwan, regarding its blue LED wafer-scribing products. Other patents recognize the technology in the US and China.
New Wave manufactures lasers and systems for wafer scribing, flat-panel display repair, and semiconductor failure analysis, as well as other applications in micromachining, velocimetry, spectroscopy, and general-purpose OEM and scientific applications.
