The International Trade Commission is beginning a Section 337 investigation on allegations that imports of semiconductor devices from Innoscience are infringing on patents held by Infineon Technologies, the ITC said in a notice released Aug. 29. Infineon's complaint, filed in July (see 2408010017), said Innoscience is incorporating Infineon’s patented gallium nitride (GaN) technology into its power transistors and circuit products, including GaN-on-Si semiconductor devices, GaN Field Effect Transistors (FETs) and GaN high electron mobility transistors, as well as downstream chips that incorporate the transistors and circuits. The ITC will consider whether to issue a limited exclusion order and cease and desist order banning import and sale of infringing products from Innoscience.

The new zero AD rate for Dillinger France takes effect Aug. 28.
