Recent News: AC Adapters: GaN, SiC or Si?
Effective high-power, compact AC adapters can be built using SiC, GaN, and Si super junction devices, according to an analysis by TechInsights of three key products.
Webinar: Identifying and Pursuing Patent Infringers - Using Technical Evidence to Build Your Assertion campaign
At its heart, an assertion campaign relies on Evidence of Use (EoU), to demonstrate the existence of ongoing infringement. If no one is using the technology covered by your patent portfolio then your patents are not as valuable. Conversely, when there is EoU the value of a patent portfolio is greater.
