佛羅里達州杰克遜維爾市，2019年11月13日，全球極具創(chuàng)新力的光伏企業(yè)晶科能源（“晶科能源”或者“公司”）（紐交所代碼：JKS）今日宣布，美國國際貿(mào)易委員會（ITC）負責第337-TA-1151號調(diào)查（“ 1151號調(diào)查”）的行政法法官（“法官”）發(fā)出指令，表示將在兩周內(nèi)批準關(guān)于晶科能源不侵權(quán)的簡易裁決動議 。
2019年3月，韓華Q Cells基于其持有的一份專利針對晶科發(fā)起了1151號調(diào)查。法官于9月對該專利權(quán)利要求的含義和保護范圍做出解釋，并于今日宣布將批準晶科簡易裁決的動議，同時無限期延后庭審程序。
晶科能源CEO陳康平表示：“從案件發(fā)生伊始，我們就已表明韓華Q Cells的指控是沒有技術(shù)和法律依據(jù)的，而僅僅旨在減緩我們發(fā)展的腳步。我們很高興看到今天法官的指令，這也證實了我們的立場。晶科能源相信健康、公平的競爭環(huán)境才有利于廣大客戶。我們期待未來繼續(xù)發(fā)揮公司所長：向我們的客戶出售創(chuàng)新、高功率的太陽能組件。”

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.”
