Munich District Court rules in favor of Infineon in patent-infringement case against Innoscience

What happened

A Munich court ruled in favor of Infineon in a patent infringement case against Innoscience concerning GaN-on-Si power chip technology. This first-instance ruling could potentially disrupt Innoscience's production and sales of 8-inch GaN-on-Si wafers in key markets if injunctions are enforced. 利多: Potential supply constraints for Innoscience's GaN chips in Europe, benefiting competitors like Infineon; 利空: Risk of supply chain disruption for buyers reliant on Innoscience's cost-competitive GaN components.
