Injunction over "flawed test results"
SynQor has obtained an injunction prohibiting Ericsson from continued or additional publication of performance data purporting to relate to its DC/DC convertors.
After conducting an evidentiary hearing requested by SynQor, the United States Federal District Court in Boston has entered a preliminary injunction prohibiting Ericsson from continued or additional publication of information contained in an Ericsson Design Note and associated article published by an industry trade journal, PCIM Europe The articles purport to compare thermal test results of Ericsson baseplated DC/DC convertors to leading non-baseplated convertors designed and manufactured by SynQor

Convertor produces 40A from a quarter brick
SynQor has introduced a 40A quarter-brick-sized isolated DC/DC convertor.
The court issued the injunction in a case entitled, SynQor, Inc v Ericsson, Inc, CA No 02-CV-11240-RGS.
The SynQor suit asserts that Ericsson published badly flawed test results and inaccurate reliability calculations disparaging SynQor products and presenting false and misleading information to the marketplace.
In addition to injunctive relief, SynQor's complaint seeks to recover monetary damages under the Federal Lanham Act prohibiting false and deceptive advertising.
The preliminary injunction order prohibits Ericsson from continued electronic publication via the Internet or any republication or further circulation of the articles, and all oral communications concerning the contents of the articles, including sales or technical presentations.
"We are gratified that the Court has acted expeditiously, in advance of trial, to stop this type of marketing", said Martin Schlecht, SynQor's CEO.
