Monitoring patent activities to track technology trends, understand the competitive landscape, and anticipate future developments

The power GaN industry is entering a pivotal phase marked by rapid market expansion, intensifying competition, and major shifts in manufacturing and supply-chain strategies. While consumer fast chargers remain the dominant volume application, adoption is accelerating in strategic high-growth segments such as AI data centers, automotive power systems, telecom infrastructure, and industrial power conversion. At the same time, the ecosystem is being reshaped by consolidation moves, new foundry entrants, 300 mm manufacturing initiatives, and increasing vertical integration among major industrial players such as Infineon, Innoscience, Renesas, TI, Samsung, ROHM, and GlobalFoundries. In parallel, patent disputes between major suppliers — particularly around lateral GaN-on-Si technologies — are becoming a critical competitive lever, influencing market access, supply-chain decisions, and geopolitical positioning.

In this fast-evolving environment, continuous patent monitoring focused on lateral GaN power devices is essential to track emerging technology directions, identify key innovators and partnerships, anticipate competitive moves, assess freedom-to-operate risks, and detect early signals of strategic positioning across applications, manufacturing platforms, device architectures, packaging, and system integration.

The Power GaN patent monitoring service enables you to stay continuously up to date with the evolving patent landscape of lateral GaN power devices by providing:

An initial dataset covering all patents published up to the previous quarter, categorized across the supply chain (wafers & epiwafers, devices, modules & packaging, circuits & applications).

One-year access to an interactive dashboard to dynamically explore the patent landscape and instantly drill down from a high-level view to specific players, technologies, and patents.

Quarterly updates of the database and dashboard, including new patent applications, newly granted patents, expired or abandoned patents, and IP collaborations, with a focus on key highlights on emerging trends, key players, and technological developments.
