–  **The Full Commission of the ITC ruled in favor of Infineon in patent infringement
case against Innoscience–  ITC ordered import and sales bans for gallium nitride
products against Innoscience in the US–  The ruling once again underscores the value
of the industry leading patent portfolio of Infineon

MUNICH, May 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Full Commission of the U.S. International
Trade Commission (ITC) affirmed the ITC’s initial determination from December 2025
that Innoscience infringed an Infineon patent concerning gallium nitride (GaN) technology
and ordered import and sales bans against Innoscience. The ITC Commission’s final
decision and the bans are subject to a 60-day review period of the US President.

"This decision once again highlights the robustness of Infineon’s intellectual property.
It reinforces our commitment to actively protect Infineon’s patent portfolio and
uphold fair competition in the industry," says Johannes Schoiswohl, Senior Vice 
President and Head of GaN Systems Business Line at Infineon. "With our industry-
leading 300-millimeter GaN manufacturing, we are uniquely positioned to scale innovation
and deliver the performance, quality, and cost advantages that our customers need
to accelerate decarbonization and digitalization," he continues.

The ruling is yet another positive decision which underscores the value of Infineon’s
contributions to GaN technology. In a parallel dispute in Germany, Infineon is asserting
infringement of three patents and one utility model in the Munich District Court
I (Landgericht München I). Already in August 2025, the Munich court found infringement
of the first Infineon patent by Innoscience. Trials for another patent and a utility
model are scheduled in June 2026.

Infineon is a leading integrated device manufacturer (IDM) in the GaN market with
the industry’s broadest IP portfolio, comprising approximately 450 GaN patent families.
GaN plays a pivotal role in enabling high-performance and energy-efficient power
systems in a broad range of applications, including renewable energy systems, AI
data centers, industrial automation, and electric vehicles (EVs). With higher power
density, faster switching speeds, and lower power losses, GaN semiconductors enable
smaller designs, reducing energy consumption and heat generation. As a leader in
power systems, Infineon is mastering all three relevant materials: silicon (Si),
silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride.
