USPTO gives ruling on EPC patent disputed by Innoscience
What happened
The USPTO strengthened EPC's core GaN patent but cancelled two claims central to a prior ITC ruling against Innoscience for infringement. EPC will appeal the cancellation, continuing the legal uncertainty. Watch: This ongoing patent dispute introduces supply chain risk for Innoscience's GaN components, potentially affecting market availability and pricing if enforcement actions resume.
