Complete Probe Solutions Inc. Acquires Electroglas IP License From FormFactor

CPS (Complete Probe Solutions Inc.) licenses all Electroglas Prober related IP from FormFactor Inc. including all current versions of EG Comander software.

Complete Probe Solutions today announced that it has acquired the license to manufacture and sell all prober products that are covered by Electroglas™ Intellectual Property rights. This establishes CPS as an authorized manufacturer and seller of Electroglas™ probers , upgrade kits and spare parts. It also gives CPS access to a worldwide base of suppliers, from which it is authorized to purchase genuine Electroglas™ components, assemblies and spares.

"I am very pleased with the agreement we now have in place with FormFactor". said CPS' president Steve Martinez, " It solidifies our position as a provider of Electroglas™ probers, and gives our customer base a much needed source for these tools. There is an installed base of close to 10,000 Electroglas™ probers currently in use worldwide and a strong demand for additional incremental capacity exists" according to Martinez.

All Electroglas IP was transferred to FormFactor (FFI), when it purchased the bulk of Electroglas Inc. in October of 2009. The IP license granted to CPS, includes Electroglas™ drawings, schematics and manufacturing methods, vendor lists and all current versions of prober operating software.
