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.

Digital Twin Concept in Copper Electroplating Process Performance
07/11/2025 | Aga Franczak, Robrecht Belis, Elsyca N.V.PCB manufacturing involves transforming a design into a physical board while meeting specific requirements. Understanding these design specifications is crucial, as they directly impact the PCB's fabrication process, performance, and yield rate. One key design specification is copper thieving—the addition of “dummy” pads across the surface that are plated along with the features designed on the outer layers. The purpose of the process is to provide a uniform distribution of copper across the outer layers to make the plating current density and plating in the holes more uniform.
