[News] Infineon Found to Infringe Innoscience GaN Patent, Barred from Selling Certain Products in China
Innoscience announced that China’s Supreme People’s Court has upheld a sales injunction against certain gallium nitride (GaN) products manufactured by Infineon Technologies AG, bringing a patent infringement dispute between the two companies to a final conclusion in China, according to its company press release.
The ruling follows a May 27 judgment by the Intermediate People’s Court of Suzhou, which found that specified Infineon GaN products infringed an Innoscience patent covering GaN device technology. The court ordered Infineon to cease the sale, offer for sale, and importation of the infringing products in China and awarded Innoscience damages of RMB 10 million, Innoscience said.
Infineon subsequently sought reconsideration from the Supreme People’s Court. The court has now upheld the lower ruling in full, leaving the injunction unchanged and making the decision final and enforceable, as noted by the press release.
With the Supreme Court’s decision, the case has reached a definitive conclusion in China. Certain Infineon GaN products covered by the ruling are now prohibited from being sold, offered for sale, or imported into the Chinese market, as highlighted by Innocience’s press release.
