Possible Ban on Innoscience Chips

The recommended relief, issued by the ALJ on December 2, 2025, would be directed at Innoscience (Suzhou) Technology Holding Co., Ltd., its related companies, and Innoscience America, Inc.
Public Comment Opportunity on Impact
The Commission is asking members of the public and government agencies to file written comments (no more than five pages) about the public interest effects of the recommended remedial orders. Written submissions must be filed electronically and received by close of business on January 5, 2026, and may address public health, U.S. competitive conditions, U.S. production capacity, and consumer impacts.
