Credo Technology Group Holding Ltd (Credo) (NASDAQ: CRDO), an innovator in providing secure, high-speed connectivity solutions that deliver improved reliability and energy efficiency, has filed a complaint alleging patent infringement on March 13, 2025, asking the United States International Trade Commission to initiate an investigation against Amphenol Corporation, Molex LLC, TE Connectivity PLC, and Volex PLC and to block the importation of products that infringe Credo’s patents related to Active Electrical Cables (AECs). In addition, Credo is filing parallel complaints in Federal District Court alleging willful infringement as Credo provided notice of its patents to each of these companies in September 2023.

The action against these companies reflects Credo’s commitment to protecting its foundational innovations in AEC technology. Since its founding in 2008, Credo has developed, created, and delivered to U.S. customers a variety of high-speed wired connectivity solutions in the data infrastructure market, including its series of distinctive purple HiWire AECs.

Commenting on Credo’s patent assertion, Don Barnetson Credo’s Senior Vice President of Product stated: “Credo invented AECs with our engineering work dating back to 2017, and we have invested tens of millions of dollars in AEC developing this pioneering technology. The offering in the United States of these infringing AEC products from these manufacturers compels us to take this step to protect our intellectual property, and our ongoing technology investments, to ensure our customers continue to receive Credo’s best-in-class AEC technology.”

Credo is represented in this matter by the law firm Fish and Richardson, P.C.
