Jointly sue the wind chaser: accusing the other party of infringing their patents on the D30 series building block fans

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens Wu Yanzu and OC_Formula for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com Sept. 14, Lian Li recently filed a lawsuit in a California court accusing Phanteks of infringing its technology patent. Lianli believes that the D30 series building block fan launched by Wind Chaser infringes its patent No. 10690336 B1 (announced in June 2020).

CTOnews.com Note: this patent describes how to implement a daisy chain called RGBFan with a simple and compact plug. At present, Lianli has commercialized the patent and launched a series of UNI fans, which have been affirmed by the market and welcomed by consumers.

At present, the focus of the dispute between the two sides is whether this concept of minimizing cables and maximizing the airflow of the lamp efficiency optimization system should be unique to joint forces. If the court upholds the idea of joint forces, other building block fans on the market, including Thermaltake SWAFAN EX and Corsair iCUE Link systems, will also be affected.
