ROGERS, CT - Rogers Corp. has filed suit in U.S. district court
claiming a larger competitor is infringing on a pair of patents
through the manufacture of one of its high frequency laminates.
In the suit, Rogers alleges Isola Laminate Systems is infringing by
making, using, selling and importing a material known as IS640, a
low-loss circuit board laminate.
Isola responded that it will vigorously defend itself
against the claims.
OYSTER BAY, NY - Telematics remains a North American dominated
technology, a new research report says.
"Telematics efforts outside
North America have faltered for several reasons," says Frank Viquez,
director of automotive research at ABI Research. "In Europe, for
example, a main factor is that consumers have much less of a propensity
to pay for the advanced safety capabilities common to North American
telematics services, such as automatic crash notification.
Additionally, the main features that most European motorists demand --
navigation and traffic -- are commonly available as standalone
services."
Telematics weds computers and telecommunications systems on a car.
