Is It Real, or Is it Memorex?

Posted August 03, 2008 8:00 AM

Nightly newscasts feature stories about counterfeit jeans and pharmaceuticals. But now, counterfeit versions of advanced semiconductors are beginning to infiltrate the pipeline. How can you ensure that nobody is offering unauthorized clones of your products? How can you spot the copies? The situation is serious enough that the Surface Mount Technology Association (SMTA) is holding a conference in early September to explore it. Have you been affected? What can you do to prevent this IP fraud?

The preceding article is a "sneak peek" from Semiconductor Fabrication, a newsletter from GlobalSpec. To stay up-to-date and informed on industry trends, products, and technologies, subscribe to Semiconductor Fabrication today.
