09:12 AM EDT, 04/22/2024 (MT Newswires) -- Maxeon Solar Technologies ( MAXN ) said Monday it has initiated a lawsuit against Hanwha Q Cells (HQCL) alleging patent infringement of its Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact solar cell technology.
Maxeon filed the lawsuit in the Eastern District of Texas following another patent infringement suit over the same technology against REC Solar on Friday and another action against Canadian Solar (CSIQ).
The company said it launched an investigation in November to ascertain whether companies were infringing on its patents. Marc Robinson, Maxeon's associate general counsel, said the company "will continue to enforce its patent rights against those who are attempting to sell infringing products."
Hanwha Q Cells did not immediately reply to MT Newswires' request for comment.
