- Market leader and globally respected solar panel manufacturer, JinkoSolar, has filed a patent infringement lawsuit in the US District Court in California against VSUN Solar USA and TOYO of infringing on its proprietary technology, with no specific details provided.
- Jinko is seeking a preliminary and permanent injunction against VSUN, damages and a trial by jury.
In their filing, Jinko stated it has been awarded more than 2800 issued patents with a proprietary portfolio comprising 462 industry-leading patents related to n-type TOPCon technology.
“JinkoSolar has earned its leadership position in the global solar module market through significant R&D investments and will vigorously defend its intellectual property against those who sell infringing products,” said Louise Lu, a patent litigation lawyer with Perkins Coie LLP.
