In the first instance, Infineon is granted the right in the GaN patent infringement case against Innoscience. This is associated with a ban on selling the corresponding products in Germany and a compensation payment.

In the ongoing GaN patent dispute between Infineon and Innoscience, there is now a first verdict: The Munich I Regional Court ruled in favor of Infineon Technologies AG in the first instance on August 1, 2025. The case concerns the unauthorized use of Infineon's patented GaN technologies by Innoscience.

Infineon had filed a lawsuit against Innoscience (Zhuhai) Technology Company and Innoscience America as well as affiliated companies in the USA via its subsidiary Infineon Technologies Austria in March 2024 and later extended it to China.

The subject of the lawsuit relates to a small part of Innoscience's portfolio and is unlikely to impress them significantly.

With today's decision, the Munich I Regional Court confirmed that a patent of Infineon is infringed by GaN products offered by Innoscience in Germany. Consequently, Innoscience is prohibited from manufacturing, selling, and marketing the patent-infringing products in Germany. Furthermore, the court orders Innoscience to pay damages to Infineon. The amount is not yet known.

Infineon considers this a strategic success in the fight for IP rights within its remarkable patent portfolio. "The decisions demonstrate the strength of Infineon's patent portfolio and further prove that we vigorously defend our intellectual property," says Johannes Schoiswohl, Senior Vice President and Head of the GaN Systems Business Line at Infineon. Infineon has filed approximately 450 GaN patent families. (kr)
