Risks Related to Cybersecurity, Data Privacy and Intellectual Property

Our business will suffer if we are not able to develop new proprietary technology, protect our proprietary technology and operate without infringing the proprietary rights of others.

The complexity and scope of semiconductor packaging, SiP modules and test services are rapidly increasing.  As a result, we expect to develop, acquire and implement new manufacturing processes and packaging technologies and tools in order to respond to competitive industry conditions and customer requirements.  Technological advances may lead to rapid and significant price erosion and may make our existing packages less competitive or our existing inventories obsolete.  If we cannot achieve advances in packaging design or obtain access to advanced packaging designs developed by others, our business could suffer.

The need to develop and maintain advanced packaging capabilities and equipment could require significant research and development, capital expenditures and acquisitions in future years.  In addition, converting to new packaging designs or process methodologies could result in delays in producing new package types, which could impact our ability to meet customer orders and materially and adversely impact our business.

Although we seek patent protection for some of our technology under U.S. and foreign patent laws, the process of seeking patent protection takes a long time and is expensive.  There can be no assurance that patents will issue from pending or future applications or that, if patents are issued, the rights granted under the patents will provide us with meaningful protection or any commercial advantage.  Any patents we do obtain may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented and will eventually expire.  As a result, such patents may not offer us meaningful protection or provide the commercial advantage for which they were designed. 

Some of our technologies are not covered by any patent or patent application.  The confidentiality agreements on which we rely to protect these technologies may be breached or may not be adequate to protect our proprietary technologies.  There can be no assurance that other countries in which we market our services will protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as
