GaN patent wars webinar 20th July

Discussion of the first battle: EPC (Calif.) against Innoscience (China)

Due to the importance of patents in the burgeoning GaN power device industry, attorneys from Radulescu LLP will host a webinar on July 20, 2023 to discuss the opening battle in the long-anticipated 'GaN Transistor Patent Wars'.

Efficient Power Conversion Corp. (EPC) recently filed a pair of patent infringement complaints against Innoscience, the world’s largest dedicated 8-inch GaN-on-silicon wafer fab based in China. The complaints were filed with the US Intl. Trade Commission (ITC) and in US. District Court (Los Angeles) alleging that Innoscience’s power HEMT devices infringe four EPC U.S. Patents.

The dispute has been characterised as a 'defining moment for the GaN industry' and as involving 'core' patents. One news outlet has also reported “New US GaN patent war may cripple exports of top China vendor.”

These topics, as well as the following will be addressed, which should be of interest to any company involved in the power GaN/SiC device market, including: background on EPC (fabless) and Innoscience (partners with Aixtron, Imec and ASML); respective market positions and patent portfolios; analysis of complaint and evidence of infringement; and ramifications for other industry players.

Participation is by confirmed reservation only. Industry executives, technologists, inside-counsel, friends and clients of RadIP are welcome. To sign up please contact RadIP at events@radip.com. The presentation will start at 11:00 am (EST) on July 20, 2023 and run for 1 hour.
