ESI Sues Korean Manufacturer

Portland-based Electro Scientific Industries is on a patent offensive this week, saying that it has filed a patent infringement suit against a Korean company, EO Technics Co.. ESI--which makes laser-based manufacturing products for the electronics, semiconductor, and microtechnology industry--said it has filed suit in the Seoul Central District Court of South Korea. ESI claims that it has a Korean Patent which is being infringed upon by EO Technics; ESI is seeking an injunction against the manufacture, use, and sale of products from that company, and compensation for damages.
