HONG KONG
,
Jan. 5
/PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Convergence Technologies Limited today announced the expansion of its vapor chamber lawsuits to include Dynatron Corporation and Hewlett-Packard in
China
. The
China
lawsuit was filed in
Beijing
on
December 16th
against Hewlett-Packard in
China
. This
China
lawsuit is parallel to the on-going
USA
lawsuit against Hewlett-Packard in the
USA
and a necessary step to bring actions against Microloops in
China
and its various partners. Meanwhile, Dynatron Corporation, a company located in
Fremont California
, has been sued for willful infringement in the above- mentioned on-going
USA
lawsuit against Hewlett-Packard (filed on
November 9th
in the Eastern District Court of
Virginia
).
At the same time, Convergence Technologies Limited announced the formal termination of the G1x8 product which was exclusive for Dynatron Corporation. In 2008, Convergence Technologies Limited completed development of an aluminum-finned vapor chamber cooler for 1-U server applications, which began shipment to Dynatron under the product code of G1x8. On
September 19th
, Convergence became aware of Dynatron publicly selling a replacement vapor chamber cooler with copper fins called G218, and dissections revealed it to possess the same allegedly infringing features as parts manufactured by Taiwan Microloops Corporation. Subsequently, Convergence contacted Dynatron to seek clarifications on their intentions in light of the ongoing litigations against Microloops and the significant risks faced by Dynatron and its customers in the
USA
and
China
, particularly since Dynatron allegedly received information on the lawsuit against Microloops as early as
May 5th, 2009
, and has received shipments of Convergence's products bearing their relevant patent numbers.
"It is unfortunate that Dynatron has refused our offer to work out a solution and has thus apparently decided to fight this in court. As evident from the number of allegedly infringing parties, our patented Multiwick structures give vapor chambers the necessary breakthrough in cooling performance, but it is unfortunate that market participants, such as Dynatron, continue to question our commitment to protect our intellectual properties. In this regard, we hope these latest lawsuits will send a clearer message. Meanwhile, the company is renaming the G1x8 as CT118 and is now making it available to the general market," says Dr.
Steven H. Lee
, founding President & CEO of Convergence Technologies Limited. Allegedly, Dynatron is currently reselling Microloops' vapor chamber products as its own products "produced" in its
Taiwan
or
China
facilities, and that many of its customers may not be aware that the actual chamber was most likely produced by Microloops. All products, authorized by Convergence, are labelled with its logo and the following patent numbers (U.S. patent #7,422,053;
China
patent #03816747.6)
