Executive Summary
IPG Photonics announced that a German court ruled its adjustable mode beam (AMB) lasers infringed a patent held by Trumpf SE & Co. KG, affecting less than 1% of IPG's total sales in seven European countries. IPG plans to appeal the decision and is implementing contingency measures to support affected customers.
