Vicor (NASDAQ: VICR) announced that Administrative Law Judge Cameron Elliot of the U.S. International Trade Commission issued an Initial Determination on September 27, finding a Section 337 violation in the importation of certain power converter modules and computing systems containing those modules. The determination states that these products infringe on asserted claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 9,516,761 and 9,166,481.
The Initial Determination also found that respondents, including contract manufacturers of computing systems, do not possess a license to practice any claim of the asserted patents. Pending a Final Determination, the International Trade Commission may issue an exclusion order preventing the importation of computing systems with infringing modules into the United States, as well as cease and desist orders barring their sales in the country.

The company experienced a net loss of $(1.2) million, or $(0.03) per diluted share, compared to net income of $17.1 million in Q2 2023. Gross margin decreased to 49.8% from 51.7% year-over-year.

Vicor has partnered with Saab UK to develop the world's first work-class all-electric ROV (eWROV), designed for deep-sea exploration and commercial underwater applications. This innovative system incorporates Vicor power modules to enable a lightweight, thermally efficient power system that eliminates the need for traditional hydraulic fluid, reducing environmental risks.
The eWROV delivers performance equivalent to a 250hp undersea vehicle while improving reliability and extending service intervals. Vicor's high-density power modules have been important in achieving a compact, scalable design that optimizes energy delivery, reduces CO2 emissions, and allows for more payload space. The power delivery network utilizes Vicor's fixed-ratio bus converters (BCMs) and regulated DC-DC converters (DCMs) to supply high-performance, low-voltage subsystem power, enabling the integration of additional electronics and improving overall performance.

On June 24, 2024, Vicor (NASDAQ: VICR) secured a preliminary injunction from the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. The injunction prevents Foxconn subsidiaries from pursuing arbitration against Vicor before the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission (CIETAC). Foxconn had sought rulings from CIETAC based on fine print in their purchase orders, claiming entitlement to royalty-free licenses for Vicor's patents. These patents are part of a pending investigation with the United States International Trade Commission (ITC), which could result in an exclusion order barring entry of infringing power converter modules and systems into the U.S. This legal win for Vicor could have significant implications for its ongoing patent enforcement efforts and market presence in the U.S.
Vicor (NASDAQ: VICR) announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office's Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) denied Delta Electronics' three Inter Partes Review (IPR) petitions challenging the validity of Vicor's patents. Filed in 2023, these patents cover power converter modules used in data centers, AI, and cloud computing systems. Vicor's ITC complaint seeks to protect its patents by barring infringing products from entering the U.S. The PTAB's recent decisions support Vicor's IP rights, bolstering its case for an exclusion order against Delta and its customers.
