This special report covers the ongoing legal battle between Lian Li, Phanteks, and Thermaltake. The lawsuit was a complaint filed by Lian Li against Phanteks and Thermaltake for what it alleges to be patent and intellectual property infringement upon its UNI Fan patent and products. The UNI Fan SL series interlocking (“daiy chainable”) RGB fans have grown wildly popular over the past couple years, with competitors rapidly following with products like the Phanteks D30 and Thermaltake SWAFAN Ex. The defendants could settle or could see this through to court, and in either event, we want to lay the groundwork with some foundational knowledge about the products involved and about the legal fundamentals. For this special report, we recruited two attorneys to provide commentary (one on camera, one as an anonymous fact checker with specialization in intellectual property & patent law) and supporting legal knowledge.
