The US will launch a probe into Adani Solar USA and Adani Green Energy Ltd India based on a complaint filed by a Chinese firm about alleged violations of its patents on solar cells, modules, panels, components and products made from such components. The United States International Trade Commission (USITC), earlier this month, said that an "investigation be instituted to determine whether there is a violation..

. of section 337 in the importation into the US, the sale for importation, or the sale within the US after importation of certain products identified..



. in infringement of one or more..

. patent and claims". The complaint, filed by Chinese photovoltaics company Trina Solar in September, claimed that an industry in the US exists or is in the process of being established.

Besides the Adani companies, various firms of Chinese solar module maker Runergy will be investigated for the alleged infringement of intellectual property rights . Under Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, the US can investigate whether imported goods infringe on American intellectual property rights and exclude them from entry into the US. "The case has been filed by a US-based Chinese company for violation of its American registered intellectual property," said a person aware of the matter, who did not wish to be identified.

Queries emailed to the Adani group did not elicit a response till press time. The USITC said, "The complainant requests that the Commission issue a limited exclusion order, cease and desist orders, and impose a bond upon respondents' alleged infringing articles."
