It’s Only Common Sense: How AI Consumes the Electronics Supply Chain
Dan’s Biz Bookshelf: ‘Building a Story Brand 2.0’
Key patents held by AuthenTec-Apple, Fingerprint Cards, and Synaptics-Validity related to these technology features have been identified. For each product feature, the links between the patented technologies and the target product have been established.
“Under KnowMade and System Plus Consulting collaboration, our aim was to highlight the technical similarities and analyze the differences of the product features”, says Dr. Elena Barbarini, Project Manager, Costing analysis, MEMS, IC & Power Semiconductors at System Plus Consulting.
The capacitive fingerprint report is a combination of data obtained with the teardown of each sensor performed by System Plus Consulting and the IP analysis of KnowMade. It highlights the IP behind each fingerprint sensor and analyzes the risk of patent infringement between AuthenTec-Apple, Fingerprint Cards and Synaptics-Validity. Based on these results, it appears that the main risks concern the packaging and the integration of the fingerprint sensor in the device.
KnowMade & System Plus Consulting report provides discussions on the potential risks of patent infringement by comparing relevant patent claim elements to the target product features. “We have identified several potential risks of patent infringements in some technology features from target products TMDR92, FPC1020, VAL004A8-T and B1202A0-01”, comments Dr Baron from KnowMade. “Key patents requiring more in-depth legal assessment have been identified.”
