04:43 AM EST, 02/12/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Shoals Technologies Group ( SHLS ) said late Tuesday it has filed an appeal with the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit challenging the International Trade Commission's reversal of an earlier ruling that Voltage's LYNX trunk bus products infringed Shoals' '153 patent.

The appeal seeks a de novo review, asking the court to assess the interpretation without deferring to the ITC's decision.

Additionally, Shoals said ITC launched a new investigation into Voltage's alleged infringement of Shoals' '375 and '376 patents, related to trunk bus lead assemblies for solar projects. Shoals claims these patents protect against both existing and alternative designs Voltage might use to bypass the '153 patent.
