Carbon has emerged as a third actor in the ongoing patent dispute between rival Chinese manufacturers JA Solar and Astronergy.

JA Solar filed two lawsuits at the German offices of the Unified Patent Court (UPC) against fellow Chinese solar manufacturer Astronergy in July.

Solar Module Super League (SMSL) member LONGi has issued a clarification regarding recent patent invalidation proceedings between it and Hanwha Q CELLS, insisting no legal judgements have been passed.
