SMARTRAC Wire Embedding Patent Receives Full Validation by Chinese
Authorities
Amsterdam, June 7, 2013 - SMARTRAC N.V., the leading developer,
manufacturer, and supplier of RFID transponders and inlays, today announced
full validity and unrestricted confirmation of its patent CN 11 19 768 C by
the Chinese Patent Re-examination Board (PRB).
The confirmation follows a lengthy legal process in which market
participants tried to challenge one of the patents related to the company's
proprietary wire-embedding technology.
'We are very pleased that our patent has been validated by the Chinese
authorities. This is another important step in our strategy to protect and
defend our patents on a global scale,' said Christian Uhl, Co-Chairman and
CFO. 'The validation of one of our wire-embedding patents will help us to
further strengthen our market position in the region and to take the
necessary means against infringement of our intellectual property.'
Wire-embedding technology is the de facto standard for the manufacture of
high-quality and high-security RFID inlays and transponders used in
application fields such as e-passport and further areas where durability
and reliability of the antenna and the inlay are key.
SMARTRAC holds numerous patents related to its proprietary wire-embedding
technology. Furthermore, the company has steadily increased the number of
patents and patent applications in the course of time. At the end of 2012,
SMARTRAC held more than 700 patents and patent applications for technology,
equipment, and the production of RFID components. In addition to its
Intellectual Property (IP), SMARTRAC also has extensive knowledge and
experience in processing technologies such as wafer processing, assembly,
chip module packaging capabilities, antenna-chip interconnecting
technologies, and lamination. Based on these strengths, the company is the
technology partner of choice in the global RFID industry.
