LISLE, IL -- Molex has settled litigation stemming from a dispute over the scope of a license agreement covering Hon Hai's (Foxconn) use of its DisplayPort mating interface.
As part of the settlement, Hon Hai has been granted a separate, worldwide, royalty-bearing license, giving it the right to sell non-standard connectors using the disputed mating interface, and having a through-hole mounting interface.
The agreement is pending approval in US District Court. Neither party has admitted any wrongdoing with respect to the claims and counterclaims.
