CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA March 2, 2015- M·CAM released its Patently Obvious® on the Transformation of the Semiconductor Market

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, semiconductor manufacturers patented thin, flexible printed circuit boards (PCB) and integrated circuits (IC), but did not have the technical means to implement these technologies. Today, the older patents in this space are newly relevant since more recent manufacturing capabilities will enable the wide array of advanced applications that are possible with thin, flexible semiconductors. Despite the fact that most of these patents are on OLEDs and LCDs, these technologies have wide-ranging applications which will transform markets such as 3G and 4G technology, wearable devices, intelligent sensors, and others.

M·CAM’s Patently Obvious® is a report providing visibility into potentially unconsidered alternatives, including art in the public domain, to patent holdings across a variety of technology areas.
