Vubiq Networks Awarded European Unitary Patent for Modular Millimeter Wave Waveguide Technology
Vubiq Networks announced that the European Patent Office has granted the company a European patent with unitary effect. European Patent No. EP 3 732 745, entitled Waveguide Interface and Printed Circuit Board Launch Transducer Assembly and Methods of Use Thereof, is the European counterpart of the company's U.S. Patent 10,818,997 and provides a single uniform right enforceable through the Unified Patent Court across 18 European Union countries through December 2038. The patented approach forms the launch transducer directly on an extended dielectric layer of the printed circuit board, eliminating wire bonds and separate launch substrates, and is compatible with wafer-level chip-scale packaging and standard surface-mount manufacturing — lowering cost and improving yield for E-band and other high-frequency radios. Vubiq Networks is offering its intellectual property and patent portfolio, including the new unitary patent, through licensing agreements or an outright sale.
