Navitas Sues Renesas for GaN Patent Infringement, Escalating Legal Battle
NVTS has more than doubled off its 52-week low of $5.44 on light trading volume (0.4× avg).
Summary
Navitas filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Renesas in Texas federal court, alleging Renesas's GaN semiconductors infringe four Navitas patents. This counters Renesas's July trade secrets lawsuit against Navitas, escalating a legal fight over GaN technology critical for AI data centers. The outcome could affect Navitas's ability to protect its IP and market position. With Navitas already facing a Wolfspeed patent suit and recent insider selling, this adds to legal overhang. Watch for Renesas's response and any preliminary injunction rulings.
