Dongguan LED companies hold a group to "break through" foreign patents "encirclement and suppression"
At present, a total of 13 LED companies have joined the alliance
In the course of developing the LED industry in recent years, patent rights are increasingly becoming one of the major tools for international corporate giants to engage in market competition, and are playing an increasingly important role. It is understood that the current core patent technology in the LED upstream chip field is mainly concentrated in several foreign-funded manufacturers in Japan, Asia, Philips and Osram. In the past year, the number of Chinese LED companies experiencing patent litigation has increased significantly. In addition, there are many foreign-owned competitors with patents that will send lawyer letters directly to downstream customers of Chinese companies suspected of infringing LED companies overseas. Because downstream customers are afraid of taking joint responsibility, they often stop purchasing LED products in China.
In order to cope with this overseas intellectual property risk, Dongguan, which is vigorously developing the LED industry, began preparing for the LED patent alliance as early as a year ago. Until yesterday, the alliance was formally established and there are currently 13 LED companies joining the alliance.
The Army Secretary General of the Dongguan Intellectual Property Association said: "With the export-oriented development trend of the Dongguan LED industry, corporate intellectual property risk has become an unavoidable problem. The establishment of this alliance is mainly to allow alliance members to reduce the input costs of intellectual property Build a shared information platform, actively respond to overseas intellectual property risks, and provide professional services and consultation in the field of patent technology for the city's LED industry. "
"Patent navigation" will help industry deployment
According to the Army, after the alliance is established, it will investigate, collect, track and analyze the world's LED technology and patents, establish an LED patent database, and provide timely reference applications to the members of the alliance when researching and developing new products. Mechanism to avoid alliance members infringing others ’patents.
The alliance will also encourage and support alliance members to research and develop LED technology, organize R & D and division of labor cooperation, and advocate the application of new technologies in the industry. "Among them, we will encourage member companies to integrate resources and jointly develop new technologies."
In addition, the alliance will provide support in litigation and counter litigation. "We will collectively conduct intellectual property negotiations in the name of the alliance to reduce corporate expenses, including signing intellectual property service contracts with domestic and foreign agencies, and litigation negotiations with overseas LED manufacturers." Army said.
In addition, the alliance will develop a "patented navigation system." Wu Meiliang, deputy director of the Dongguan Science and Technology Bureau, had high hopes for this. He said at the meeting yesterday: "I hope that through the establishment of the database, we can understand the development path of LED, and analyze the current development situation in depth to judge the cutting-edge Technology trends, so that our LED industry will have a more scientific development and deployment. "
LED core patent is about to expire, the technology will be published
Now is the right time for the company to hold the alliance
The Army believes that this is the right time to establish an LED patent alliance. "First of all, foreign core patents are about to expire. According to the provisions of the Patent Law: the protection period for invention patents is 20 years, the protection period for appearance patents is 10 years. "It has expired or is about to expire." He said, "And foreign companies will develop more patent systems before it expires, which means that up to now, including the next two or three years, the domestic development is the most The mature LED patents have basically expired. The expiration of these patents means that, while the core technology expires, can we seize this opportunity well? After the technology expires, the technology will be disclosed, we Can we develop some invention patents that are suitable for us on the basis of public technology, that is, innovate on the original technology. The database established by the LED Patent Alliance is conducive to our work in this area. "
In addition, the current increase in foreign patent barriers has considerable hidden dangers. "We can strengthen strategic research through alliances, enlarge the patent pool, integrate many patents together, cross-license, cooperate with each other, and finally form a group to deal with the threat of international LED giants." Army said.
