Canadian Solar says its patent dispute with Maxeon Solar has been formally terminated in the United States. The company states that the dismissal of Maxeon’s U.S. patent infringement lawsuit ends the remaining U.S. proceedings related to Maxeon’s allegations.
The resolution follows a prior decision by the U.S. Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB). PV Magazine reports that the PTAB’s January ruling invalidates the patent claims that Maxeon asserted against Canadian Solar, clearing the way for the U.S. case to be dismissed. PR Newswire similarly frames the outcome as a resolution of the last U.S. proceeding tied to the infringement allegations. While both sources agree on the dispute’s conclusion and the role of the PTAB, they emphasize different points—PV Magazine highlights formal termination tied to the PTAB invalidation, while PR Newswire focuses on the company’s announcement and the status of remaining proceedings.
