Maxeon Investigates Patent Infringements in US Amid Revenue Drop and Workforce Layoffs Following Legal Battles in Germany.

Solar manufacturer Maxeon is investigating’several companies’ for potential infringements of its TOPCon cell patent infringements in the US market. The company, which split from SunPower in 2020 to focus on its manufacturing business, has stated that it is monitoring the United States market for potentially infringing products. It has also stated that Maxeon will defend its intellectual property rights if it finds any infringed. This comes after Maxeon brought a case against Tongwei in Germany for infringement of its shingled solar cell technology patent, and another lawsuit against Aiko Solar over interdigitated back contact (IBC) cell technology in Germany. Recent financial issues have seen Maxeon’s revenue drop by around 35% quarter-on-quarter and plans to lay off 22% of its workforce and phase out production of its IBC modules.
