Reaction to patent infringement lawsuit by Austriamicrosystems (AMS)

March 12, 2009 - Ieper, Belgium

Melexis will defend strongly against the lawsuit in subject. AMS’ claim refers to the successful Melexis Triaxis® product line that is based on Sentron’s patent portfolio, acquired by Melexis in 2004.

Melexis Triaxis® products result from wholly owned proprietary technology. Melexis is highly confident that the AMS patent will be held not infringed and invalid. Melexis will vigorously defend itself and its Triaxis® products in the interests of its customers and shareholders.
