Based on the tracked case data, JinkoSolar appears to operate as an operating company defending against intellectual property assertions. The company has been named as a defendant in one tracked patent litigation case and has no recorded appearances as a plaintiff. This posture suggests JinkoSolar focuses on its core manufacturing and sales operations while defending against infringement claims.
The single tracked litigation involves "First Solar, Inc. v. JinkoSolar," filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware on February 25, 2025. This case indicates a defensive litigation posture within a prominent U.S. patent venue.
First Solar, Inc. initiated a patent infringement lawsuit against JinkoSolar related to TOPCon solar technology. JinkoSolar's subsequent Inter Partes Review petition against US Patent 9130074 was denied by the USPTO Director.
