Kateeva has acquired a portfolio of 648 issued patents and one pending application covering inkjet equipment and related processes used to manufacture OLEDs and flat panel displays (FPDs).
In addition to the patent purchase, Kateeva has been granted a license to the seller’s remaining OLED and FPD manufacturing-related patents, giving Kateeva customers license to use such intellectual property (IP) on Kateeva’s manufacturing equipment. The portfolio includes patents issued in China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and the US.
“The seller had developed a strong and highly relevant portfolio in inkjet printing for OLED and FPD manufacturing,” Dr. Conor Madigan, Kateeva’s president and COO, said. “The assets we’ve acquired today, as well as the patents for which we have received a license in this transaction, expand the technologies we can incorporate into our growing portfolio of YIELDjet products.”
