Arrayed Fiberoptics Corp. (AFC) has filed patent infringement lawsuits in China against Shenzhen T&S, and Suzhou Agix.
AFC alleges the two Chinese companies infringed on its China patent No. CN201710842885.3.
The patent covers non-contact optical fiber connectors. Arrayed received a U.S. patent for a non-contact fiber connector earlier this year.
“Arrayed Fiberoptics invests heavily in fiber-optic innovation to benefit its customers and reinforce its position as a global technology leader in optical fiber connectors,” said Benjamin Jian, president of AFC. “As such, we vigorously protect these valuable assets, and this action against Shenzhen T&S and Suzhou Agix is a necessary step to prevent unauthorized infringement.
“Networks of today demand high connector density, and our non-contact MPO connectors are the best solution to meet this demand. Through continuous and significant R&D investment, Arrayed Fiberoptics has built a deep and extensive portfolio of issued and pending patents related to non-contact fiber connectors,” Jian added.
