First Solar Sues Corning Unit and Chinese Rival Over Patents
Original: First Solar Sues Corning Subsidiary, Chinese Rival Over Patent Infringement
First Solar has filed a patent infringement lawsuit against a subsidiary of Corning and a Chinese competitor. The solar panel maker is seeking to protect its proprietary thin-film technology, which it argues has been copied without authorization. The case adds to mounting tensions between Western clean-energy firms and Chinese manufacturers competing in the global solar market.
