Agile Materials & Technologies Sues Paratek Microwave For Patent Infringement
GOLETA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 17, 2005 -- Agile Materials and Technologies, Inc. (Agile), the technology leader in tunable wireless components, announced today that it has served a lawsuit against Paratek Microwave, Inc. of Columbia, Maryland. The lawsuit alleges patent infringement, breach of contract and unfair competition. An innovator in the field of tunable capacitors, tunable filters, and phase shifters, Agile is committed to vigorously protecting its intellectual property.
Agile develops and produces tunable RF and microwave component families using proprietary processes that for the first time, enable manufacturers to create high performance power-efficient parts for nearly half the cost incurred using conventional devices. These families of products include phase shifters, tunable matching networks, tunable filters and custom designed tunable passive circuits for the wireless communications industry.
About the Company
Founded in 1999, Agile Materials and Technologies, Inc. is the technology leader in tunable wireless components that enable commercial and military RF communications manufacturers to significantly decrease the number of components required for multi-mode systems, reducing device size, power consumption, complexity and cost. The company evolved from a Defense Advanced Research Project Administration (DARPA) funded research project on Frequency Agile materials (FAME) at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and has successfully commercialized its proprietary method to harness the unique properties of a thin-film ferroelectric material called Barium Strontium Titanate (BST). Unlike GaAs, MEMs, or thick-film technologies, Agile's technology facilitates the design and fabrication of high-performance tunable components that for the first time cost-effectively allow a single wireless device to operate over a range of frequencies and formats.
