Amphenol has settled a patent case with Credo Semiconductor around Active Electrical Cables (AEC). The case was filed in March alongside Molex, TE Connectivity and Volex, which are all still outstanding.
The US International Trade Commission has started an investigation against the companies to block the importation of products that infringe Credo’s patents. Credo has also filed parallel patent infringements complaints in Federal District Court.
Since its founding in 2008, Credo has developed, created, and delivered variety of high-speed 800G wired interconnect systems for datacentres using digital signal processing. This includes its series of distinctive purple HiWire AECs that can be used instead of optical cables for short distances.
“Credo invented AECs with our engineering work dating back to 2017, and we have invested tens of millions of dollars in AEC developing this pioneering technology,” said Don Barnetson Credo’s Senior Vice President of Product. “The offering in the United States of these infringing AEC products from these manufacturers compels us to take this step to protect our intellectual property, and our ongoing technology investments, to ensure our customers continue to receive Credo’s best-in-class AEC technology.”
The details of the deal with Amphenol were not disclosed, but it involves a settlement and cross-licensing agreement. “I am pleased to have reached an amicable resolution,” said Barnetson.
