Once it is understood that the case lost, only China will have nearly $100 million of the LED products will be banned exports to the us. At present, the company is taking the way such as settlement with the plaintiff or the litigation. City intellectual property office said, the bureau is to speed up for the city’s LED patent situation analysis, hope to actively support deep ‘patent application for leds, and provide the relevant patent risk early warning and instruction in time.
LED is the most promising green lighting light source in the 21st century. At present, international semiconductor lighting industry development present a regional distribution pattern of the global industry significantly; The international multinational companies use technology advantage to occupy high value-added products; Industry continue to increase investment, strengthen cooperation between the multinational corporation; Expanding application area. In Taiwan’s semiconductor lighting industry development earlier, faster, is one of the key areas of the international semiconductor lighting industry, the decline of domestic industry development in recent years, capacity gradually transfer to mainland China. Stage at present, the development of the mainland around the year 2000 is similar to Taiwan, industry, numerous investment into, to expand capacity.
Original mainly concentrated in Japan, the United States, South Korea, China, Germany, China, Taiwan and other countries or regions. Japanese patent number is the most, but the quality of the United States and Germany patent is higher. Although the mainland accounted for 5%, including a large number of taiwan-funded enterprises. Chinese Taiwan area, Japan, South Korea, the United States, Germany, as a semiconductor lighting strong countries or regions, attaches great importance to the Chinese mainland market, the proportion of application in China were 25%, 24%, 7%, 24% and 4%.
Area for concentrated distribution of LED industry in our country, has now formed the seven big regional industry cluster, respectively in Shanghai, nanchang, xiamen, dalian, shenzhen, yangzhou and shijiazhuang. Application in China is among the top six in shenzhen, Beijing, guangdong, zhejiang, Shanghai, xiamen, concentrated much of the country more than 75% of the applications. In general, enterprises and taiwan-funded enterprises in Taiwan are the obvious advantages in the field of semiconductor lighting in China, from the international scope, Japanese companies generally in leading technology level. Encapsulation is our main research and development and the application field, the patent application number accounts for 38% of overall and this other for application technology, epitaxy technology, chip technology, the white light and substrate technology, related patents mainly relates to the preparation methods and equipment of leds. From the point of international, related patents mainly relates to light emitting diode device structure, encapsulation structure, preparation methods, cathode ray tube, gallium arsenide base silicon substrate and other technical topics.
