Molex prevails in patent case

Lisle-based Global supplier of connectors and interconnect components Molex Inc. said Friday that the Intellectual Property Court of Taiwan has ruled in favor of subsidiary Molex Taiwan Ltd. in a patent infringement lawsuit brought by Taiwin Electronics Co. Ltd.

The September 2009 suit alleged that Molex combo connector sockets for USB and e-SATA dual plugs sold or offered for sale by Molex Taiwan infringed on the Taiwan Utility Model Patent No. M293552, owned by Taiwin Electronics.

Molex Taiwan countered the patent infringement claims by asserting that the patent was invalid. The IP Court formally rendered its decision on May 10
