Palomar Technologies Inc. Files Patent Infringement Lawsuit Against MRSI to Protect Ultra-High Accuracy Placement and Die Attach Capability

Carlsbad, CA – July 14th 2015 – Palomar Technologies, Inc. filed a patent infringement lawsuit on July 6th, 2015 against MRSI Systems LLC in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California.

The suit alleges that certain MRSI products infringe on Palomar’s United States Patent No. 6,776,327, entitled “High-Accuracy Placement Method Utilizing Double Pick and Place." This process enables highly accurate placement of microelectronic components.

Palomar’s high precision die attach systems are designed for fully automatic, precision microelectronics assembly.  Applications and processes range from optoelectronic devices, RF modules, HB/HP LED, automotive sensors, and Microphotonics. “With die and package geometries getting ever smaller, precision placement is becoming an increasingly important factor in more applications than ever before” said Daniel Evans, Palomar’s Chief Technology Officer.

"Palomar will vigorously enforce its patent rights to protect our substantial investment in innovative, high accuracy placement technology and capabilities” said Bruce Hueners, Palomar’s President and Chief Executive Officer.
