Rogers Files Patent Infringement Lawsuits Against KCC
December 7, 2015 | Rogers CorporationEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Rogers Corporation, today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Rogers Germany GmbH, has filed two separate patent infringement lawsuits in Mannheim, Germany against KCC Corporation of Seoul, Korea and its German subsidiary KCC Europe GmbH with its registered office in Cologne. In these two complaints, Rogers alleges that KCC infringes a Rogers patent by offering in Germany direct bonded copper (DBC) substrates that were manufactured using a process that is patented in Germany (European Patent No. 1 412 307).
“Rogers is a technology leader in providing materials-based solutions in many different application areas, and we will enforce our patent rights to protect our substantial investment in innovation,” said Robert C. Daigle, Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer of Rogers Corporation.
DBC substrates are electrically insulating and thermally conductive industrial ceramics to which copper foil has been directly bonded. The result is a metallized ceramic substrate with high thermal conductivity, superior heat spreading capability and low thermal expansion properties, all of which are essential for high performance power electronics applications.

The Chemical Connection: Getting to Know Your Vendor
02/16/2024 | Don Ball -- Column: The Chemical ConnectionAfter working for a capital equipment supplier for almost 50 years, I’ve found that the most important part of getting to know your vendor is good communication among all parties. While contact between fabricators of a constantly changing product line and the designers of those products may occur daily or weekly, conversations between you and your equipment supplier may be years apart. That lengthy gap often means that previous contacts may have been promoted, retired, or moved on to other opportunities. You may have also migrated to a new supplier with whom you have little or no history. In either case, you will be interacting with someone you are unfamiliar with (as they are with you). Therefore, it is essential for both sides to communicate clearly so expectations will align.
