The US International Trade Commission has upheld its ruling that Innoscience infringed Infineon's GaN patent, imposing an import ban on the Chinese chipmaker's products. The decision, finalized after the presidential review window closed, strengthens patent protections for Infineon in the gallium nitride semiconductor market.
The decision bars Innoscience from importing its gallium nitride chips into the United States.
The ruling protects Infineon's position in the competitive GaN market.

The Circuitry is a passion project I've always wanted to build, and I love the work behind it.
Running it costs real money. APIs, hosting, time. To keep improving the site and growing this into something useful for everyone, those costs have to be covered.
Any contribution is appreciated. If not, no pressure. Thanks for reading.
Marvell Technology raised its fiscal 2028 revenue outlook to approximately $20 billion and set a fiscal 2031 target of $70-90 billion. The increases reflect expected growth in AI networking and optical connectivity demand.
According to reporting, Biren Technology is preparing its next-generation BR20X GPU for mass production. The move advances a domestic AI accelerator roadmap built on broader low-precision support and locally available manufacturing.
A federal jury in San Diego ordered Apple to pay Taction Technology more than $5.7 billion after finding that the Taptic Engine in iPhones and Apple Watches infringed two Taction haptic patents. The jury found the infringement was not willful, and Apple says it will appeal.
Tesla and SpaceX have confirmed Grimes County, Texas as the site for their Terafab semiconductor megafactory, with the first phase costing roughly $16.8 billion. The project targets the largest chip manufacturing facility on the planet to supply over 1 terawatt of compute per year that exceeds current and future global production capacity.
TSMC posted a 77.4% year-on-year profit increase to NT$706.56 billion and raised its capital spending outlook while announcing another $100 billion for Arizona fabs. The results underscore sustained AI demand that now dominates 66% of its platform revenue.
