Innoscience responds to latest Infineon lawsuits

These claims, first made in the Northern District of California (NDCA), followed by filings in Munich, Germany, and most recently at the International Trade Commission (ITC) on July 26, 2024, are strategic attempts to unfairly undermine Innoscience’s market standing. Innoscience takes these legal actions seriously, having conducted extensive research, analysis, and review. Innoscience remains confident that Infineon’s allegations lack merit and that the asserted patents will ultimately be deemed invalid. Therefore, these lawsuits will not affect Innoscience's current product sales and normal operations.

As the pioneering company to mass-produce 8-inch GaN, Innoscience holds a commanding lead in the GaN power industry, boasting a market share that significantly surpasses that of Infineon. Innoscience places a high value on intellectual property development and portfolio management, ensuring that all our products are backed by independent rights. We firmly believe that Infineon’s lawsuits are deliberate attempts to disrupt the market and hinder the advancement of both Innoscience and the GaN industry. By resorting to unfounded means, Infineon is trying to maintain its position in the silicon power semiconductor sector.

Innoscience has taken decisive measures to counter Infineon’s baseless accusations by engaging a legal team with extensive patent litigation experience. We will file invalidity petitions against all asserted patents. In June, Innoscience already filed an Inter Partes Review (IPR) with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, challenging the patent No. US 9,899,481 asserted by Infineon. We are continuing to implement our other robust defences and are confident that we can and will fully invalidate all of Infineon’s asserted patents.

Infineon’s repeated lawsuits are a clear testament to Innoscience’s leadership in GaN technology and their profound fear of Innoscience’s rapid development in this area, believing that GaN poses a significant threat to Infineon’s market position. Innoscience firmly denounces these abnormal competitive tactics and has every confidence that we will prevail in this series of lawsuits.

Innoscience, leveraging our formidable technical expertise, has consistently maintained a leading position in the GaN semiconductor industry and earned the great trust of our partners. Committed to innovation, Innoscience will continue to increase our R&D investment, accelerate technological advancements, and sustain our competitive market edge. We highly value cooperation and reciprocity, aiming to contribute to the global prosperity of the GaN industry.

We are fully aware that the energy-efficient and highly promising gallium nitride industry has vast development potential. By fostering cooperation amidst competition and growing through collaboration, we are committed to advancing this industry. Together with all stakeholders, we will drive progress, reduce carbon emissions, and promote social advancement. Let us work together to create a greener and more prosperous future!
