Patent war has become the means and strategy of LED lighting enterprise competition

Recently, patent issues in full swing. Apple trademark rights in chelunzhan, who wins the final is not conclusive; Jordan is also fighting on Jordan sports, issued a complaint to the Chinese; 337 investigations of the United States is eyeing China 13 lighting business, problems of intellectual property such as patent and trademark disputes were placed on the table again. The patent war, once again to the world that: in the commercial competition, with the patent right to have the initiative, it has a wealth.

Today, more and more facts indicate that the patent has become a weapon of war scenes between enterprises in all industries, the core content and the competition between enterprises is also attacking the opponent's sharp weapons, there is no exception in the field of LED lighting, is also an important force to win the right to speak and priority development right.

It is reported that the patent war is the means and strategy of a business competition of LED manufacturers, the patented technology has been the key global LED PHILPS (Philips), OSRAM (Osram), Nichia (Nichia), TOYOTA (ToyodaGosei), Cree synthesis of the 5 manufacturers of cross licensing firmly in control, as long as there is any enterprise to enter the 5 major patent sites, regardless of size will lead to the most sensitive patent dispute. So, where is China's LED lighting patent tomorrow for the LED patent issues, many industry experts and business representatives, in-depth discussion.

The construction of patent pool enterprises hold together to deal with patent barriers

Although LED lighting technology application and promotion of the conditions are ripe, the prospect of a good, but the vast majority of enterprises in the hands of no LED core patents and technology. This is the current domestic enterprises to enter the LED industry is facing the biggest problem. They are faced with the third step of international trade friction -- technical barriers to trade. For LED patent disputes, full health, said, I think the most important thing is the domestic patent pool construction. Suggested that the relevant enterprises Baotuan response to form a patent pool.

It is understood that the "patent pool" joint license is a patent license trading platform consists of the patentee, the patentee can cross license through this platform, or in a unified permission to open the third party of the horizontal and vertical rates determined by permission of the patentee.

Patent pool is essentially a market-oriented trading mechanism, is a centralized management of the patent model. The formation of the patent pool, the original intention is to speed up patent licensing, promote the application of technology. In the long run, it is necessary to strengthen the patent analysis, establish a patent pool to achieve a reasonable layout of the patent, and jointly deal with external risks. LED technology and its industry is one of the important contents of the development of high technology, and also the industry with fierce competition. In recent years, the development of LED industry, more and more enterprises begin to use the patent alliance to protect intellectual property rights, reduce the cost of access to intellectual property rights, enhance the competitive advantage.

The establishment of LED patent pool is very important for the development of LED lighting patent in china. Through the establishment of patent alliance, strengthen the research of patent strategy, pay close attention to the development of industry technology, patent strategy closely with economic development and market competition, science and technology, is an important part of business development strategy. Patent protection, patent analysis, patent pool, to the rational distribution of patent infringement defense on the one hand, the objective; on the other hand, the establishment of the league, as the start of regional LED industry resource integration strategy, the domestic LED industry or will break the bottleneck, entered the fast track of development, accelerate the development of LED industry, in order to obtain a number of independent intellectual property products, in response to the international LED giant "encirclement". Encourage the establishment of patent alliance between LED enterprises, not only can the demonstration effect for other industries or enterprises, can also promote access to common strategic interests between the enterprises in the LED industry, characterized by a single patent to the patent competition tactics for the combination of characteristics of strategic competition, the formation of the industrial chain, innovation chain, product chain and the realization of alliance among enterprises in the preferential use and foreign joint license their patent technology, improve the development of the whole industry advantage, bring more economic and social benefits for enterprises.

As the Shenzhen LED Industry Association executive vice president Gui Shirong said, after the establishment of a patent alliance, can reduce the core patent licensing prices, on the other hand, even through a plurality of core patent application patent replacement in the form of a whole to reduce the cost of enterprise.

The patent battle every enemy sword to self-improvement

In fact, the core patent barriers like a hanging on the head of China's LED industry Damour Chris sword. Because the core patents are controlled by overseas manufacturers, Chinese enterprises are facing the risk of patent infringement.

Dr. Liang Bingwen China nanotechnology center Suzhou Academy of Sciences pointed out that mainland companies listed in China more and more objects on behalf of the international giants to the mainland, and has a huge potential demand, soon will become the main battlefield of the major LED manufacturers for patent wars triggered at any moment.

FSL LED consultant Dong Pingnian once said, "in the initial stage, manufacturers have a patent pretending to take, 'fangshuiyangyu' strategy, fattened back stabbed a knife, the new enterprise to court. He pointed out that China's LED industry does not have a patent, it means no defense tools, in a patent dispute in the passive position of being beaten and helpless.

Patent war, so many enterprises in the development of
