Ultra Clean responds to Celerity legal action Print E-mail
Sep 23, 2005 at 04:42 PM
Ultra Clean Holdings, Inc's subsidiary, Ultra Clean Technology Systems and Service, Inc., has filed a suit against Celerity seeking a declaratory judgment that Ultra Clean's new substrate technology, which is in the final stages of development, does not infringe certain of Celerity's patents.

The company announced this action on September 2, 2005, which was 11 days in advance of the recently announced Celerity suit against UCT.

Ultra Clean's action was filed in the federal court in the Northern  District of California and is directed at  the same patents specified in Celerity's claim filed in federal court  in Delaware against Ultra Clean.

"Ultra Clean Technology respects the Intellectual Property rights  of others," said Clarence Granger, President and Chief Executive  Officer of UCT. "At the same time, we will vigorously defend our right to develop new technology in this arena. UCT has its  own intellectual property that covers its independently developed, proprietary substrate technology and we believe that the Federal Court  will find that we do not infringe the Celerity patents."
