Akoustis completes rollout of its XBAW design updates

Akoustis Technologies (AKTS) has announced the final release to manufacturing of design updates across its product portfolio. Akoustis developed the updates to its XBAW manufacturing process to remove any patented features claimed by Qorvo (QRVO) in U.S. Patent Nos. 7,522,018 and 9,735,755. Qorvo asserted the patents against certain XBAW RF filters in Qorvo, Inc. vs. Akoustis Technologies, Inc., No. 1:21-cv-01417-JPM. These updates have been incorporated into both new XBAW RF filters and many earlier XBAW filter designs since the Fall of 2022. Effective immediately, the Company has released these design updates to manufacturing for the remainder of its filter products that remain in production and distribution as needed to remove any potential infringement.
