Dispute Summary
Canadian Solar Inc. initiated an IPR challenge against Maxeon Solar's solar cell patent (11,251,315), asserting that the claims are obvious under 35 U.S.C. ยง 103. The petitioner argues that combining a back-contact structure with decades of prior art regarding doping concentrations and metal impurities renders the invention predictable. This initial petition focuses on establishing clear grounds for unpatentability in photovoltaic technology.
