The fabless supplier of semiconductor and optical components has also accused two of its former engineer employees of divulging information.
GigOptix addresses emerging high-growth opportunities in the communications, industrial, defence and avionics industries.
GigOptix has conducted forensic and other discovery to support its lawsuit for misappropriation of trade secrets. The firm has also brought a motion for preliminary injunction, which the Court heard on September 13th, 2012. It is not necessary that such motions be filed in trade secret misappropriation cases, and the Court’s denial of the request for an injunction does not have any impact on the strength of GigOptix’ case against the defendants.
The Court did not address the merits of GigOptix’ claims against the defendants in denying the motion. While the Court did not provide its reasoning for denial of the motion, a spokesperson did say that, “a party seeking a preliminary injunction ‘ordinarily is required to present evidence of the irreparable injury or interim harm that it will suffer if an injunction is not issued pending an adjudication of the merits.”
GigOptix remains confident that it has strong evidence supporting its claim for misappropriation of trade secrets. The company looks forward to putting the evidence regarding the conduct and actions of the defendants before a jury and judge in “an adjudication of the merits” at trial. The Court has not yet set a trial date.
Anadigics` InGaP technology powers Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G
The new MMPA provides high performance quad- band GSM/EDGE and dual-band WCDMA and uses the firm’s proprietary indium gallium phosphide technology
Anadigics is shipping production volumes of its ALT6181 multimode multiband power amplifier (MMPA) to Samsung Electronics for the new Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G smartphone.
This smartphone provides a 4-inch super AMOLED display, 1.5 GHz dual-core processor, and Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system. In addition to a touchscreen display, the Galaxy S Relay 4G features a slide-out QWERTY keyboard.
Anadigics’ MMPAs utilise the company’s exclusive InGaP-Plus technology and patented design architectures to provide a high-performance single package solution for quad-band GSM/EDGE and dual-band WCDMA/LTE applications.
Anadigics says its MMPAs help to extend battery- life in applications where minimising printed circuit board (PCB) space is highly desired, such as handsets, smartphones, tablets, netbooks, and notebooks.
“The selection of our multimode multiband power amplifier for several upcoming smartphones, including the new Galaxy S Relay 4G, exemplifies the integration and performance advantages offered by this solution,” says Michael Canonico, senior vice president of worldwide sales at Anadigics.
“By leveraging our innovative technologies, design techniques, and intellectual property, we are able to help manufacturers reduce RF PCB space requirements and extend battery-life in sleek, power-hungry mobile devices. We look forward to continuing our strong relationship with Samsung Electronics, as we jointly work together to raise the bar in mobile connectivity performance,” he continues.
