Camtek Ltd.
, announced today that the district court of Minnesota
entered a summary judgment finding that certain previous models of Camtek's
Falcon systems were capable of infringing upon two claims of a Rudolph patent
in the United States.
Camtek disputes the finding and intends to appeal.
Camtek views the Court's decision as significantly reducing Camtek's exposure
to payment of damages. The Court's infringement finding is based on an
infrequently used feature of the Falcon. Camtek ceased marketing the Falcon
system in the United States in 2009 and removed the feature altogether from
its systems worldwide over 2 years ago. The Court's decision indicates that it
will address the remedies at a later stage.
Commented Rafi Amit, Chairman and CEO of Camtek, "This summary judgment is
just another stage in what is a long legal dispute over a patent which
affected some past models of our Falcon systems which were sold solely in the
United States. I believe that the current judgment, which only refers to a
rarely used feature, reduces our exposure to possible damages. The fact that
this feature became obsolete over 2 years ago also means that I expect no
impact on our current and future business."
