Nearly two years after being sued by an industry titan for patent infringement, a major cloud hanging over power semiconductor maker InnoScience (Suzhou) Technology Holding Co. Ltd. (2577.HK) appears to be lifting, easing a major distraction for the company and investors.
两年前遭业界巨头控告专利侵权后，笼罩在英诺赛科（苏州）科技股份有限公司（2577.HK）头上的乌云似乎正逐步消散，有望为公司及其投资者消除一大隐忧。
The legal dispute with Infineon Technologies (IFX.DE), which dates back to March 2024, posed a significant risk to InnoScience, even as it listed its shares in Hong Kong about a year ago. The company currently mostly does business in China, but an unfavorable ruling could have barred it from selling some of its products in the U.S. in the future.
英诺赛科与英飞凌（IFX.DE）之间自2024年3月开始的法律纠纷，一直为英诺赛科带来重大风险，甚至在公司于一年前来港上市之际亦然。英诺赛科目前主要业务仍集中在中国，一旦裁决结果不利，未来可能被禁止向美国市场销售部分产品。
That potential roadblock appeared to dissipate somewhat last week when the company announced that the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) ruled partly in its favor regarding one of the two patents in the case. InnoScience said its products related to the other patent also did not infringe on that patent. It stated the ruling "further clarifies the status of InnoScience's relevant intellectual property and will clear the way for its future global development."
上周此一情势似乎略见缓和，公司公告指，美国国际贸易委员会（ITC）在本案涉及的两项专利中，就其中一项作出了部分有利于英诺赛科的裁决。英诺赛科表示，其另一项专利相关的产品也被认定并未构成侵权。公司称，该项裁决“进一步明确了英诺赛科相关知识产权的状态，并将为公司未来的全球化发展扫清障碍”。
