Taiwan Microloops Corporation Sued for Patent Infringement

October 16, 2008

TAIPEI, Taiwan, Oct. 16 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Convergence Technologies Limited, a leading provider of electronics cooling solutions, announced that on September 9th of 2008, it has filed a lawsuit in the Taiwan Intellectual Property Court against Taiwan Microloops Corporation.

The lawsuit alleges that at least one Microloops' product for the graphic- card industry uses technologies that infringe on 2 Convergence patents in Taiwan. Investigations are on-going to determine the extent of the infringement in other countries and on other products in the telecom, server and bladeserver markets. It is alleged that Microloops infringed on the Multiwick and Boiling-enhanced Multiwick features that enable effective vapor chamber operations. Vapor chamber is a relatively new cooling technology that has the potential of making an impact on a heat-prone electronic industry. Convergence is seeking injunctive relief barring the infringement, contributory infringement, and inducement to infringe the Convergence patents, as well as monetary damages. The Multiwick patent has been granted in USA, Taiwan, China and Hong Kong and is pending in several other countries, while the Boiling-Enhanced Multiwick patent has been issued in Taiwan while pending globally.

According to Dr. Steven Lee Founder and CEO of Convergence: "The Multiwick technology is centered on the premise that the condensate flow in a vapor chamber must increase as it coalesces from the larger condensing surface toward the smaller evaporation surface. This technology and the derivative Boiling-Enhanced Multiwick technology were discovered during many years of hardwork, and we will do what is necessary to defend them. It is unfortunate that communications with Microloops have not yielded any meaningful results."
