International LED patent mutual licensing domestic manufacturers face more pressure

On April 15, Taiwan AU Optronics and Japan Sharp Corporation patent litigation formally reached a settlement, and signed a patent cross-licensing contract. Each party agreed to authorize each other to own a specific patent. After the contract is signed, each of them will be revoked. All litigation.

Some media said that international companies will eliminate the visibility of manufacturers lacking patent licenses in mature markets in the world through patent cross-licensing. Taiwanese manufacturers are actively signing licensing agreements with international companies, and the mature market will be better than other manufacturers. At present, the five major LED manufacturers in the world frequently interpret patent cross-licensing and enjoy different technology research and development results, which not only reduces costs, but also creates synergies and enhances competitiveness.

Not long ago, Germany Osram and the US Cree have signed a global LED patent cross-licensing agreement. The patented technologies covered include blue LED chip technology, white LED and phosphor technology, packaging, LED lamps and lamps, and LED lighting control systems. In July last year, Cree signed a global comprehensive patent cross-licensing agreement with Philips to further accelerate the growth of the LED lighting market.

Osram said that the patent cross-protocol can accelerate the spread of LED technology in various application areas, reduce the risk of inadvertently infringing patent rights of other companies, and avoid potential patent disputes to help companies develop, produce and sell new products.

At present, Cree's main direction is LED general lighting market, and Cree has launched large-scale cooperation with many LED patent “rich mine owners”. It is not difficult to see that Cree hopes to fully expand the ambition of LED general lighting business.

"LED patent cross-licensing or cross-licensing is a common means for international giants to monopolize the market. China's LED upstream core patent technology is basically in the midst of foreign companies. International giant cross-licensing will make China's LED industry face greater patent challenges." LED CEO Zhang Xiaofei said.
