Chunghwa Precision Test Tech. Co., Ltd. Receives the Complaint of A Patent Infringement Lawsuit Filed by Technoprobe S.P.A. in Taiwan Chunghwa Precision Test Tech. Co., Ltd. received the complaint of a patent infringement lawsuit filed by Technoprobe S.P.A. (Italian Company) in Taiwan. Parties to the legal matter: Plaintiff: Technoprobe S.P.A. (Technoprobe). Defendant: Chunghwa Precision Test Tech. Co., Ltd.(Company). Name of the court or punishing agency of the legal matter: Intellectual Property and Commercial Court. Reference/Case number of relevant documents of the legal matter: Year 2024 Min Chuan Su Zi No. 25. Details of occurrence (including the matter under dispute): (1) Technoprobe claimed that the Company infringed its patent right of the Republic of China Patent No. I705249 ” SEMI-FINISHED PRODUCT COMPRISING A PLURALITY OF CONTACT PROBES FOR A TESTING HEAD AND RELATED MANUFACTURING METHOD” (hereinafter called ”Patent in dispute”), filed a civil lawsuit with the Intellectual Property and Commercial Court, and requested the Company to compensate for the damage it suffered, with the requested amount being TWD 31.65 million. (2) After investigation, Technoprobe’s claimed Patent in dispute was issued on September 21, 2020, and its main basis for claiming patent infringement was the Company’s presentation material announced at the Semiconductor Wafer Test Workshop (SWTW) in June 2018. However, when the disputed briefing was presented, Technoprobe's Patent in dispute had not yet been issued, and the Company had no way of infringing upon Technoprobe's Patent in dispute. In addition, the content of the briefing presented by the Company only involved cost and material analysis, not manufacturing methods. It has nothing to do with laser cutting, so Technoprobe's claim that the Company has infringed its Patent in dispute based on the presentation material released by the Company is completely unfounded. What's more, the Company's manufacturing method is significantly different from the manufacturing method of the Patent in dispute. (3) The company has always attached great importance to intellectual property rights and focused on independent research and development. By the end of 2023, it had obtained a total of 396 global patent rights. This is because the Company's products have applied for patent protection during the research and development process. However, in order to prevent competitors from knowing the Company's trade secrets, the Company carefully retains the manufacturing methods, material characteristics, etc. and protects them as trade secrets.

New minor risk - Profit margin trend The company's profit margins are lower than last year and have reduced by more than 30%.
