LED lighting shows a high-speed growth trend

At present, China is a manufacturing base for lighting products and a major producer, consumer and exporter of lighting products. Since 2013, with the improvement of the overall economic environment and the overall recovery of the lighting industry, the overall scale of China's lighting industry has exceeded 2013 yuan in 470 billion, with an export value of 35. 7 billion US dollars. The elegant demeanour of a lighting power remains the same, and LED lighting is showing a high-speed growth trend. At the same time, the issue of intellectual property rights is related to the sustainable development of the entire LED industry. If it cannot be properly solved, it may lead to a series of industrial crises. How to resolve the industrial crisis caused by LED intellectual property rights, it is a key issue in the development of China's LED semiconductor lighting industry. A few days ago, CSAResearch released the second issue of the 2014 'China LED lighting products export quarterly report (2014Q2) ', The export situation of LED lighting products in China in second quarter of 2014 and the first half of 2014 was analyzed. The report shows that in the first half of 2014, China's lighting products exports continued to maintain a steady growth momentum. According to CSAResearch's incomplete statistics, China's lighting products exports totaled 18 billion yuan, up about 16. Among them, in addition to the small increase in the amount of CFL exports, incandescent lamps, halogen tungsten lamps, metal halide lamps and other traditional lighting products have varying degrees of decline, the export value of unlisted lamps and other products, including LED lighting, has increased significantly, with an export value of about 61. 0. 5 billion US dollars, an increase of about 80. CSAResearch's further analysis of customs export data shows that in the first half of 2014, China's LED lighting exports continued to grow at a high speed, with the export value of LED lighting products reaching about 43. $0. 5 billion, up 135 year-on-year. Sun Yinsheng, a lawyer from Beijing Deli Intellectual Property Service Co. , Ltd. , believes that at present, the intellectual property awareness of LED industry is relatively strong, but Chinese enterprises have not yet reached the stage of going international, the core technology is still in the hands of international giants, and the chips used in China are still foreign technologies, so the litigation of core patents will not take place for the time being, and the major litigation risks are mainly concentrated in the application field. Therefore, in the future, domestic LED enterprises will have many disputes in the field of application or packaging. From the government level, the government plays a leading role in the patent strategy. Li Wei, deputy director of the industrial promotion department of the Guangdong Provincial Intellectual Property Office, said that the government's strategy for enterprises is divided into four aspects. The government should cultivate and guide the intellectual property awareness and intellectual property application capabilities of enterprises; The second is that the government promotes the application of the industry and guides enterprises to develop and utilize patent information; The third is to create an environment for patent application, such as participating in the construction of the platform; The fourth very important thing is to increase patent protection so that enterprises can see the value of patents. Yun Danping, deputy director of the high-tech department of the Guangdong Provincial Science and Technology Department, also said that the patent belongs to himself and the standard belongs to the public. Moreover, there is also a difference between the standard and the patent. The patent is its own thing on the whole. The standard is the public thing, that is, the difference between public and private rights. Therefore, in the field of LED, private rights and public rights should be clarified. At the same time, industry insiders say that China's LED industry lacks core patents, while Guo Jinxia, a doctor at the semiconductor lighting research and development center of the Institute of Semiconductors of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, expressed disapproval. She said that there are more than patents of LED in China. In this huge patent data, there must be gold. Therefore, the Chinese LED industry does not have patent ammunition, but does not seriously dig, if you have a patent, you must take the initiative to do something. You don't want to provoke a lawsuit, but you must issue some warnings to tell foreign companies that China also has intellectual property rights. If you enter the Chinese market, you must respect the intellectual property rights of Chinese companies. CSAResearch's analysis of customs export data shows that from the perspective of export destinations, Europe and the United States are still the mainstream markets for China's LED lighting products exports, while emerging markets such as BRICS countries are growing rapidly. In the first half of 2014, more than 50 of China's LED lighting products exports were mainly concentrated in the United States, the European Union and Japan, the top ten exporting countries are the United States, Russia, Hong Kong, Israel, Spain, the United Kingdom, Spain, the United Arab Emirates, the Netherlands and Italy. Russia's growth is amazing, and it has become the second largest export market in China. Analysts from China semiconductor lighting network pointed out that China's LED industry has experienced a decade of rapid development, and has grown from weak to strong. The scale of the industry has also grown from billions at the beginning to more than 200 billion today, chinese LED enterprises have also sprung up and grown rapidly in the past ten years. The number and scale of LED export enterprises are growing at a high speed. With the continuous expansion of China's LED export scale, enterprises are paying more and more attention to patent self-protection, and foreign enterprises are beginning to pay attention to patent issues when entering the Chinese market. For enterprises, the standard patent is their own. If there is a patent, they should take up the law to safeguard their own rights. Accordingly, the value generated by the patent will also belong to themselves. For the industry, CSA Alliance has also been accompanying the development of the industry, paying attention to the growth of enterprises, and will also play a greater role in the protection of LED enterprises in standard patents. Therefore, with the continuous growth of China's LED export scale, LED patent protection is also more important. Patent protection is not a business, only when China's LED industry government, alliances, enterprises, laws and other institutions work together can the healthy development of the LED industry be better protected.
