Autodesk Sets the Record Straight
Last month, Autodesk took legal action by requesting a preliminary injunction against the developers of ZWCAD+ software in the Netherlands. We believe that ZWCAD+ was created using unauthorized access to our code—specifically, AutoCAD 2008 code. For over three decades, AutoCAD has been the industry standard, used by millions of architects, engineers, designers, and creative professionals who shape the world around us. Protecting our intellectual property is not just a legal obligation—it’s a responsibility to our customers and to innovation itself.
In response to recent misleading statements from ZWCAD affiliates regarding the lawsuit, we want to clarify the facts and provide a more accurate account of what has happened so far.
On April 7, the court issued its decision following a preliminary hearing. While ZWCAD Design has described the outcome as a “landslide win,†this was only the first step in a complex and lengthy legal process. The court did not grant the preliminary injunction, but it did order the submission of ZWCAD+ source code, build scripts, mastering files, third-party binaries, and libraries. This move paves the way for an independent, code-level analysis of both ZWCAD+ and AutoCAD in future proceedings.
The court specifically noted that "the fact that many functions of AutoCAD 2008 that do not logically contribute to the user experience or can be classified as errors also appear in ZWCAD+ provides sufficient grounds for the claimed relief, regardless of the defendants’ explanations." This statement highlights the significant similarities between the two products and supports Autodesk's position.
We see the judge’s ruling as a positive development and are confident that the upcoming review will further validate our concerns. We remain committed to protecting our innovations and ensuring fair competition in the industry.
Semiconductor/wafer Cleaning Agent
ZSEM produces a variety of high-purity fluorine-containing electronic special gases and organic solvents to make your chip manufacturing easier.Beacause wafer cleaning task is one of the most repeatedly carried out procedure that is undertaken when fabricating wafers. With the ever-changing technology and device shrinking property, cleaning processes do get complicated each time. Wafer contaminants range from particles with a diameter range of 0.1 to 20 microns, organic and inorganic contaminants, and impurities. Wafer cleaning has to be done without introducing any additional impurities or contaminants to the final surface.
