EPC has recently filed lawsuits in federal courts and ITC in the United States, claiming that four of its basic patent portfolio are being sued against InnoSeco (Zhuhai) Technology Co., Ltd. and its affiliated companies (collectively referred to as InnoSeco).
InnoSeco stated that the investigation and litigation initiated by EPC are inconsistent with the facts, and their motives and purposes are questionable. It is also said that InnoSecco‘s intellectual property rights are "clear, traceable, and non infringing".
In its press release, it said: "We believe that this action of EPC constitutes an illegal Porter‘s generic strategies aimed at destroying the competitive advantage of Innosec. Innosec reserves the right to pursue legal responsibility for the losses caused thereby."http://www.ic-bom.com/
Since its establishment, InnoSecco has applied for 753 related patents globally, of which 129 have been granted. Regarding the four allegations of intellectual property infringement raised by EPC, InnoSecco stated that it has conducted a comprehensive analysis in a timely manner to confirm that there have been no infringement of EPC‘s intellectual property.
Compared to InnoSecco, EPC has significant differences in business scale, business scope, and technical strength. The accusation of technology plagiarism based on job changes by a few employees is purely speculative and lacks factual basis
In addition, InnoSeco is an IDM (Integrated Equipment Manufacturer) The core competitiveness of semiconductor companies lies in the comprehensive Vertical integration of the semiconductor industry, including chip manufacturing. InnoSeco is renowned worldwide for its pioneering 8-inch GaN mass manufacturing process. On the other hand, EPC is a fabless design company whose product design mainly relies on a 6-inch foundry process platform. EPC does not have its own wafer manufacturing facilities or corresponding manufacturing processes.http://www.ic-bom.com/
