STATS ChipPAC hit with patent infringement claim

The firm is mulling a counterclaim.

Mainboard-listed STATS ChipPAC today revealed that it has been served with a Writ of Summons by ERS Electronic GMBH on the back of a patent infringement charge.

ERS Electronic claimed that STATS ChipPAC has infringed its patents relating to debonder machines used in wafer level package assembly process.

“The Company does not expect this action to have a material financial impact. The Company has sought
legal advice and is of the opinion that the claim is groundless and without merit and intends to take all
necessary steps to vigorously defend the claim, including but not limited to, a counterclaim for revocation
of the patents which the Company has been alleged to infringe,” STATS ChipPAC said in a release to the SGX.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
