On June 24, Innoscience (02577.HK) fell 3.81% in regular trading, trading at HK$68.3/share, with turnover of HK$74.94 million. The stock notably underperformed the broader semiconductor sector, where peers including SMIC (+2.7%), Hua Hong Grace (+2.71%), and Montage Tech (+2.4%) posted gains.
The decline follows a sharp 11%+ rally on June 22 after Innoscience announced that the Munich Regional Court ruled its current GaN power device products do not fall within the scope of Infineon's German patent claims and are therefore unrestricted in Germany. However, Infineon simultaneously claimed victory in the same proceedings, asserting the court found Innoscience liable for infringement on certain historical products and ordered damages. This conflicting interpretation of the rulings appears to be weighing on investor sentiment.
The broader patent dispute spans three jurisdictions — the US, Germany, and China — with Innoscience having secured a sales injunction against Infineon in China while facing ongoing litigation abroad. The mixed signals from the German ruling may be prompting profit-taking following the prior session's surge.
