【Today's hotspot] Chinese companies are expected to break the LED core patent barriers

April 26 is World Copyright Day, and in the patent case of Yiguang and riyahua on April 22, US time, the Michigan Federal jury pointed out that, the federal jury agreed that the two LED patents owned by riyahua were invalid, namely US Patent No. 5,998,925 (Hereinafter referred to as patent No. 925) With U. S. patent no. 7,531,960 (Hereinafter referred to as patent No. 960). The patent wars between the two major LED packaging factories, Japan and Yiguang, have been entangled for a long time. Their patent lawsuits have also traveled from Japan to Germany and the United States, and they have a tendency to die. Federal jury pointed out that even though the Nichia of in 925, patent and 960, patent on the obvious invalid but in 925, patent on light did not put forward according to to implementation elements (enablement) It is proved that riyahua is invalid in this patent. In terms of patent 960, Yiguang did successfully submit information to prove that the patent is riyahua invalid. Although at this stage it is only the view of the federal jury that the Japanese Patent No. 925 and No. 960 are obviously invalid, according to the judicial practice in the United States, the judge's post-judgment will not be much different from the jury's view. For a long time, Japanese Asian Chemical's patents 925 and 960 belong to the door god level. In the past, Taiwan LED manufacturers suffered a lot from entering the North American market because of these two patents. If Yiguang wins in this battle, it will have a very good opportunity to break the patent barriers of Japan and Asia in North America. Crystal energy photoelectric (Jiangxi) Dr. Zhao Hanmin, technical director of the limited company, pointed out that LED patent incidents are frequent recently, but one thing in common is that most of these incidents are beneficial to Chinese enterprises, the patent threats of the five major patent giants such as Philips, Osram, Kerui and Japanese and Korean companies are expected to be relatively weak, and Chinese companies are expected to have a good opportunity to enter the North American market. Recently, China's LED patent industry can be described as good. Not long ago, Ruifeng and jufei obtained Toyota's White Light patent at the same time. A little further forward, Jinsha River venture capital acquired Philips Lumileds and inherited more than 600 patents. On April 2, PhilipsLumileds officially changed its name to bright business (Shanghai) In the project invested by Jinsha River Venture Capital Co. , Ltd, including a series of LED-related enterprises such as Dalian gold 3D, Crystal energy Optoelectronics, crystal and lighting, Yimei core light, shangshun lighting, Beijing Taishi core light, Changzhou carbon yuan technology, etc, involving many links of the LED industry chain, the acquisition of Philips Lumileds is intended to solve the problem of LED patents of its subsidiaries and build a leading enterprise in China's LED industry. Patents are the shortcomings of Chinese LED enterprises, especially the upstream core patents, which are firmly controlled by the five giants. Chinese enterprises want to go abroad, and the patent issue is the first to bear the brunt. A series of events show that Chinese companies are expected to break the international patent barriers and achieve qualitative breakthroughs in the entire industry.
