晶科能源的不侵权简易裁决动议将在两周内获得美国国际贸易委员会(ITC)法官的批准
佛罗里达州杰克逊维尔市,2019年11月13日,全球极具创新力的光伏企业晶科能源(“晶科能源”或者“公司”)(纽交所代码:JKS)今日宣布,美国国际贸易委员会(ITC)负责第337-TA-1151号调查(“ 1151号调查”)的行政法法官(“法官”)发出指令,表示将在两周内批准关于晶科能源不侵权的简易裁决动议 。
2019年3月,韩华Q Cells基于其持有的一份专利针对晶科发起了1151号调查。法官于9月对该专利权利要求的含义和保护范围做出解释,并于今日宣布将批准晶科简易裁决的动议,同时无限期延后庭审程序。
晶科能源CEO陈康平表示:“从案件发生伊始,我们就已表明韩华Q Cells的指控是没有技术和法律依据的,而仅仅旨在减缓我们发展的脚步。我们很高兴看到今天法官的指令,这也证实了我们的立场。晶科能源相信健康、公平的竞争环境才有利于广大客户。我们期待未来继续发挥公司所长:向我们的客户出售创新、高功率的太阳能组件。”

JinkoSolar’s motion for summary determination of non-infringement will be granted by ITC JUDGE within two weeks
Jacksonville, Fla. – November 13, 2019 – JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. (NYSE: JKS) (“JinkoSolar”), one of the largest and most innovative solar module manufacturers in the world, today announced that the Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”) in U.S. International Trade Commission Investigation No. 337-TA-1151 (“the 1151 Investigation”) issued an order indicating that JinkoSolar’s motion for summary determination of non-infringement will be granted within two weeks.
The 1151 Investigation was initiated by Hanwha Q CELLS in March 2019 on the basis of a single patent asserted against JinkoSolar. In September, the ALJ interpreted the meaning and scope of the patent claims, and today announced that JinkoSolar’s motion for summary determination will be granted and the hearing has been stayed indefinitely.
“From the beginning, we have said that Hanwha Q CELLS’ complaints were without technical or legal merit, and were only meant to slow us down. We are very pleased with today’s order, which validates our position,” said Kangping Chen, CEO of JinkoSolar. “JinkoSolar believes healthy, fair competition is good for customers and we look forward to continuing to do what we do best: selling innovative, high-powered solar modules to our customers.”
