China's semiconductor lighting industry patent status

[Source: Gaogong LED 's " LED Good Products" magazine January issue ]

I. Introduction

Since the second half of 2011, under the influence of the unstable global economic environment, China's semiconductor lighting industry has been significantly affected. Enterprises of all sizes have experienced certain difficulties. In some areas, corporate bankruptcy has also occurred. Many of them are well-known enterprises with a certain scale in the industry. Concerns about the short-term market prospects have become widely discussed by experts, scholars and business operators in the industry. However, in addition to this, the author believes that there are two more things worthy of our attention: First, the Japanese patent lawsuit of Yiguang Electronic Patent Infringement case, after more than four years of tug-of-war, finally ended with billions of light wins; second, the five giants The signing of the patent cross-licensing agreement was completed, and a solid patent alliance was established. This alliance covers most of the world's core patents and most of the valuable peripheral patents. The impact of these two things may be far-reaching compared to the short-term market outlook due to the economic downturn.

With this victory, Everlight Electronics will continue to sell its products, and downstream customers will be more recognized for its products and technologies. In fact, in the case of a low market, competition will become more intense, and the role of patents will become more prominent. Only those technologies and products with independent intellectual property rights can gain greater market share. In the long run, Yiguang Electronics may even realize mutual authorization of patents in certain areas with Nichia or other companies; the five giants are establishing patent alliances. After that, it will be consistent in this respect. For non-union companies, especially those that lack core technology and market strength, I am afraid that I will eat more “big sticks” in the future, and “tuition fees” will be even more expensive. In fact, every reference to patent issues, especially the patent issue of the semiconductor lighting industry, can be said to be a cliché. However, whether it is in various conferences or in the open media, everyone is only discussing some superficial problems. The reasons for the solution and the solution are lack of in-depth analysis.

Second, the investigation

In stark contrast to the above two things, so far, many semiconductor lighting companies in China have been sued abroad for various patent issues, but it is rare to see that the winner of the lawsuit is a domestic enterprise, the most common result. They are all settled by the payment of large patent fees by domestic enterprises. On the other hand, in addition to the establishment of patent alliances among the above five giants, many companies in South Korea and Taiwan in the second camp have also adopted their own strengths. In some areas, the above-mentioned giants have established in-depth cooperation, some have obtained authorization, and some have a unique side. In contrast to domestic enterprises, almost none of them have received such treatment. Similar to patent cooperation, they have not yet seen the initiative. Seeking to establish mutual authorization and cooperation with domestic enterprises. These two phenomena deserve our deep thought. The reason behind this is that most of China's enterprises have almost no core patents and lack the strength to negotiate with each other. After entering the market, they are naturally looked down upon and even beaten. The author conducted a survey and analysis of LED related patent applications in mainland China, see Table 1.
