Wolfspeed has filed a patent complaint in Delaware targeting Navitas’ GaNFast and SiCPAK product lines, while Navitas has separately turned around and sued Renesas in Texas over its SuperGaN semiconductors. The dispute underscores how sharply legal battles are escalating in the wide-bandgap semiconductor market, especially around GaN and SiC technologies.
The case adds to a broader wave of intellectual property conflicts in the sector, where major players are increasingly using the courts to defend or challenge positions in fast-growing power electronics markets. The original article notes that this confrontation is unfolding alongside the German Infineon versus Chinese Innoscience dispute, highlighting that patent warfare around GaN and SiC is becoming a defining feature of competition in the industry.
