Innoscience files lawsuit against Infineon
Chinese GaN firm Innoscience and its subsidiary Innoscience (Suzhou) Semiconductor have filed a lawsuit against Infineon Technologies (China), its subsidiary Infineon Technologies (Wuxi) and a value-added Chinese distributor called Suzhou Xinwoko Electronic Technology.
The lawsuit concerns patent numbers 202311774650.7 and 202211387983.X (both owned by Inno Suzhou), which respectively involve a GaN power device and its preparation method, and a nitride-based semiconductor device and its manufacturing method.
The complaint is around Infineon's Chinese website which displays and promotes various GaN semiconductor devices to potential customers in China. After technical comparisons, Innoscience says amongst the devices are patent- infringing products that are being imported and sold without Innoscience's permission.
Innoscience says this activity constitutes an infringement of the patents involved in the case, and Infineon should stop the infringement and pay compensation.
