Billion light Nichia LED "infringement" constantly, Taiwan Institute called for good patent warning

Taiwan LED packaging factory Everlight and Japanese Nichia LED packaging factory (Nichia) respectively on November 6, 2013 in Chinese YAG patent dispute issued a press release on both sides of the patent war once again caused concern to the industry LED for patent litigation. Recently by the Taiwan Research Institute (ITRI) organized by LED lighting - Market Review and outlook and Patent Strategy Forum "was proposed, Taiwan factory facing patent dispute except from Nichia outside, also need to pay close attention to Philips lighting patent alliance, Zhaga common interface does not belong to a" free license "patent well, China, LED mass fear the threat of patent application.

Billion light with Nichia off patent litigation war did not put out in the world, Nichia November 6th news pointed out that the Beijing first intermediate people's court rejected billion light to overturn a decision to maintain the 2 request, Nichia YAG patent (ZL97196762.8, ZL03159595.2) effective decision. Billion light on the same day evening issued a press release pointed out that the mainland Nichia YAG patents in the first and second case is the only remaining part of the scope of the shrinkage, emphasizes the influence on product layout without billion light.

Taiwan LED packaging factory in the East Bay, including billion light and Hong Qi, were all with Nichia patent litigation, also mentioned in the forum, the Taiwan LED lighting industry is facing a major source of patent threat is Nichia, it Nichia patent layout, Nichia materials and fluorescent powder concentration analysis white patent in the group had filed a lawsuit against competitors in Europe and the United States, the use of a large number of segmentation techniques Nichia extension and expansion of the scope of patent case.

With the LED lighting industry, LED plant is also actively layout lighting related patents, the report also pointed out that the international LED manufacturers Philips in the global LED lighting layout a lot of patent, patent right and with other people set up Philips lighting patent alliance, in order to put forward the patent infringement litigation means, promote the International LED manufacturers and patents.

While the Zhaga alliance in full swing in the development, the speaker did not forget to remind, which also hidden many patent crisis. Another noteworthy risk is the potential threat from a large number of manufacturers Chinese patent application, the number of patent applications China mainland in recent years rising fast, but the China manufacturers patents, the average is not heavy weight stage, from the patent application type, China manufacturers still more to practical application new patents, international companies and manufacturers in Taiwan, Chinese patents for invention patents.

On the other hand, the forum can be observed at the Taiwan manufacturers patent layout has many advantages such as patent, crystal electric wafer ITO process and high voltage LED chip, can undertake 2W to 10W task, applied to the bulb type lamp is especially suitable, otherwise there are many important patent protection chip and GaN on Si Technology in bonding technology; sub photonic crystal (Photonic Quasi Crystal) the uer in Luminus photonic crystal patent acquired at the day before an optoelectronic, have the opportunity to get a better light extraction efficiency and light field symmetry advantage; Wang Qi applied to single side electrode COB package wire, also has its patent layout.

However, compared with international companies in the lighting patent layout, key patents in Taiwan manufacturers still lack in lighting applications end, several schemes and ITRI R & D units recently proposed, is expected to link up Taiwan's industry patent distribution gap.
