China court bans Infineon from selling GaN chips amid patent war

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

This decision is a significant victory for Innoscience in a multi-region patent dispute between the two companies, both of which are key suppliers for Nvidia's AI-rack power chips. The ruling includes a 10 million yuan (approximately $1.48 million) damages award to Innoscience, though Infineon has also secured a patent infringement ruling against Innoscience in the U.S. and Germany.
