Patent Board Scorecard Published in the Wall Street Journal Rates SiPix as The Number One Company in Scientific Development

FREMONT, Calif. -- SiPix Imaging, Inc., a global supplier of e-paper displays and in-mold decoration film, has been recognized for the strength of its research and development in the electronics and instruments industry in The Patent Board Patent Scorecard published in the Wall Street Journal. SiPix achieved the highest Science Strength score for the 13 week period measured in the Patent Board's quarterly evaluation of innovation in the electronics and instruments industry.

The Science Strength metric measures the degree to which SiPix's patent portfolio is linked to and built upon core science by evaluating the number of scientific, academic references made in patents against the industry average. The Patent Board is an independent provider of best practices research, tools and metrics for patent analysis and intellectual property investment that provides weekly patent and innovation analysis to the Wall Street Journal.

"To be recognized by the Patent Board as having the highest Science Strength among public and private companies is a testament to our team's vision and execution," said Andrew Ho, president of SiPix. "SiPix's broad patents in electronic paper, flexible displays, and in-mold decoration have allowed us to rapidly expand into many markets, existing and new. We have also developed patented processes for manufacturing which allows us to become one of the largest suppliers of flexible displays and in-mold decoration film. Our researchers and engineers have taken their ideas from concept all the way to reality."

"SiPix leading position in science strength indicates a high level of credibility in their research and development process," said Eric Gillespie, Patent Board COO. "The Science Strength metric tracks the number of scientific and academic references made in patents, and a high score means that SiPix's patents are based on credible and serious scientific data."

SiPix's flexible display patents include Microcup[R] technology which allows the company to create flexible displays using numerous materials and techniques, from liquid crystals to electrophoretic materials. Additionally, the patented manufacturing techniques allow cost effective production which positions SiPix as a powerhouse in this field.

SiPix's in-mold decoration (IMD) patents have leveraged the research in flexible displays. Moving beyond traditional IMD, SiPix's techniques have expanded to printed electronics and techniques to embed displays and electronics into devices during manufacturing.

With over 120 patents in their portfolio SiPix expects to continue their lead as they expand their portfolio in flexible electronics, polymer synthesis, micro-fabrication, and roll-to-roll manufacturing.
