Silicon photonics patent dispute escalates as MSSCORPS sues Enli Technology for infringement, seeking TWD2 hundred million in damages

　MSSCORPS Co., Ltd. (“MSSCORPS”) released the material information that Enli Technology Co., Ltd. (“Enli”) allegedly used the equipment and technical solution relating to MSSCORPS’s patent titled “Device for Detecting Optical Loss”.  In order to prevent continued infringement upon its invention patent, MSSCORPS filed a lawsuit in the Intellectual Property and Commercial Court (“IPC Court”) on March 25, 2026, claiming that Enli infringed upon its invention patent no. I870008B, titled “Device for Detecting Optical Loss” and seeking a court order requiring Enli to cease and prevent all acts of patent infringement, as well as damages in an amount of TWD200 million. 

　In response to MSSCORPS’ lawsuit alleging infringement upon its invention patent no. I870008B, Enli stated that it regretted the conduct of the industry peer that chose to disseminate information through the press before the completion of judicial proceedings and thus hindered industry innovation.  The company further strongly condemned what it described as an inappropriate act of competition. 

　Enli also pointed out that there is a generational gap in inspection technologies between the two companies.  The patent asserted by MSSCORPS adopts a conventional solution using “metallographic microscope” for optical loss measurement, while Enli’s technology is based on the next-generation and more advanced “hyperspectral imaging sensor module” as its core technology that is able to be highly integrated into client-side systems (such as, probe stations and electrical testing equipment) to directly perform optical inspection of silicon photonics.  Optical loss detection is simply one of the applications within Enli’s multifunctional silicon photonics chip inspection module.  Enli further emphasized that the attempt to allege infringement against a next-generation hyperspectral imaging sensor module based on an outdated metallographic microscope patent is technically untenable.  (Released 2026.03.26)
