OBDUCAT RECEIVES FIRST NIL PATENT GRANTED IN JAPAN
Obducat have received notification from the Japanese patent office that it will issue a patent for an invention concerning functionality within Obducat’s NIL technology (nano imprint lithography) called parallelization. The technology offers performance advantages in comparison with competing parallelization technologies.
The patent focuses on so-called parallelization, which facilitates a high quality result from the nano imprint lithography process where a pattern is transferred from a so-called stamper to a substrate. The function enables an even force distribution over a larger area, which leads to an improved quality of the imprint, that in its turn leads to a higher cost efficiency from a manufacturing perspective.
Patrik Lundstöm, CEO Obducat, comments:
“We are very pleased with getting our first NIL patent granted in Japan. This is the first result of a decision last year to request an accelerated review process in Japan for our key patent applications. When now moving forward with Canon Marketing Japan, which enables us to intensify evaluation processes in ongoing customer projects and hence move these customers into manufacturing mode on a short time scale, it its of importance that key technologies are protected in Japan as well.”
