ITASCA, USA: Knowles Electronics, LLC announced that the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has affirmed the US International Trade Commission’s (ITC) final determination that MEMS Technology Berhad’s (MemsTech) importation and sale of certain MEMS microphone packages infringes Knowles’s U.S. Patents 7,242,089 and 6,781,231. The Court of Appeals held that Knowles’s patents are valid and enforceable, and affirmed the ITC’s exclusion order barring MemsTech from importing its infringing products into the US.
“This is an important victory for Knowles and we are pleased that the Federal Circuit has affirmed the validity of our patents. We will continue to vigorously protect our intellectual property, support our development of innovative products for the markets we serve, and ensure we capture the value of our investment in research and development,” said Jeffrey Niew, president and CEO of Knowles Electronics.
The patents in this case are part of a large portfolio of patents related to Knowles SiSonicTM MEMS microphones and microphone packaging technology. These patents cover several variations of SiSonic microphones and manufacturing methods.
