LG Energy Solution Files ITC Complaint Against EVE Energy Over Battery Patents

LG Energy Solution has lodged a complaint with the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) targeting Chinese battery manufacturer EVE Energy, according to Businesskorea. The dispute centers on alleged infringement of battery-related patents held by the South Korean company.

The complaint is the latest in a series of legal moves by LG Energy Solution to protect its battery technology portfolio in the United States, where competition among global cell makers has intensified. EVE Energy has not publicly responded to the filing at this stage.

While LG Energy Solution has not issued a detailed public statement on the specific patents involved, the ITC action signals its intent to use trade remedies to address perceived infringement. Battery manufacturers have increasingly turned to the ITC because it can block imports of products found to violate U.S. intellectual property rights.

The outcome could affect supply chains for electric vehicles and energy storage systems that rely on cells from either company. The case will now proceed through the ITC’s investigation process, which typically involves a review by an administrative law judge and a final determination by the commission.
