Update: Arlon Answers Rogers' Allegations

Published: 15 December 2008
 by Staff
ROGERS, CT and RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CA – Rogers Corp. has initiated a patent infringement complaint against Arlon Electronic Material Group of Rancho Cucamonga. The complaint is in regard to US Patent No. 5,552,210, “Ceramic Filled Composite Polymeric Electrical Substrate Material Exhibiting High Dielectric Constant and Low Thermal Coefficient of Dielectric Constant.”
 
Rogers is the exclusive licensee under the patent, and the complaint demands that Arlon stop the manufacture, sale and distribution of its TC-600 circuit board material. “Rogers expends substantial effort and resources to develop innovative circuit materials and protect its intellectual property rights,” explains Bob Wachob, president and CEO. “Anytime we believe our intellectual property rights have been violated we are prepared to take appropriate actions in enforcing and defending these rights.”

Arlon has received the complaint and believes the allegations are without merit. The company intends to defend itself. “We believe that this lawsuit is unfounded,” says Robert Carini, president of Arlon's Electronic Materials operations. “It is regrettable that Rogers chose to file the lawsuit before contacting us. At this point, we are in the process of retaining outside counsel and evaluating all of our legal options.”
