China's Supreme Court blocks Infineon GaN sales, boosting domestic chip stocks

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

China's Supreme People's Court has upheld a lower court's injunction against German chipmaker Infineon Technologies, prohibiting the sale of its gallium nitride (GaN) products in mainland China. This decision stems from Infineon infringing on two GaN patents held by Chinese rival Innoscience. The ruling has led to a significant surge in the stock prices of Chinese semiconductor companies, including Innoscience, Silan Microelectronics, Sanan Optoelectronics, and China Resources Microelectronics, signaling a potential reshaping of China's third-generation semiconductor industry.
