Hanwha Precision Machinery "Hanmi Semiconductor's False Patent Infringement Claims"

"Preparing Strong Legal Action"

Hanwha Precision Machinery stated on the 18th that the semiconductor equipment 'TC Bonder' patent infringement lawsuit filed by Hanmi Semiconductor is "not true."

Hanwha Precision Machinery said, "Our company goes through a prior art investigation process during development, so we clearly state that the claim that a specific company infringed on its patent is not true."

Hanmi Semiconductor filed a patent infringement injunction lawsuit related to the TC Bonder against Hanwha Precision Machinery at the Seoul Central District Court on the 4th.

Hanwha Precision Machinery emphasized, "We prioritize fair competition as our top value and operate our business respecting the industry's patent rights for related technology development," adding, "We do not conduct business in an unlawful manner or in a way that infringes on competitors' rights."

They added, "We are currently preparing a strong legal response," and "Hanmi Semiconductor's unfair claims will be clearly verified through court procedures."

Hanwha Precision Machinery also stated, "Regarding the suspicion that we hired a Hanmi Semiconductor TC Bonder researcher to acquire trade secrets, we officially clarified at the time of the first report in May that this is completely untrue," further explaining, "This case is a lawsuit against the individual researcher and is not directly related to Hanwha Precision Machinery, and even in that lawsuit, there has been no confirmation that the researcher infringed on Hanmi Semiconductor's trade secrets."

The company said, "We will definitely correct Hanmi Semiconductor's false claims through expert institutions and the court," and "we will strive to achieve the best results in a reasonable and fair manner going forward."
