A brief discussion on 8 key strategies of LED industry patent situation and enterprise patent

A, patent 1, Chinese domestic LED industry LED industry gradually entered the mature period, the number of patent applications slows, the number of patent applications in 2013 will be the peak, as shown below. At the same time, the number of patents is no longer the main focus on the quality of patents and patent system construction, and the huge patent base for the creation of a high level of patent operations. 2, patent applications and China's LED industry in the region should be concentrated, the future of the industrial structure will not change significantly. It is understood that the number of patent applications in Guangdong province LED industry the most, accounting for 26% of the country, Taiwan province and Jiangsu Province, Zhejiang province accounted for about 9%, as follows: 3, patent key enterprises and domestic industry closely to make it increasingly, careful to take measures against patent and market positioning, domestic enterprises and international patent key enterprises the difference is still large, at the same time, international enterprises change to the domestic enterprise patent licensing attitude. In addition, the number of industry technology roadmap and key enterprise diversification increased, certain factors, as well as some of the key patents expiring, key enterprises tend to patent licensing or cooperation, domestic enterprises should choose to increase. 4, enterprise patent strategy may change, domestic enterprises are still large patent risk. Why do you say that? Is mainly reflected in four aspects: A, enterprise scale growth, improve the stability of business needs, a greater willingness and ability to purchase or accept the patent license; B, domestic enterprises and international enterprises in the high-end market in direct competition against the competition, increase the risk of patent; C, domestic intellectual property policies and regulations gradually perfect, to enhance the efficiency of the judicial system, litigation cost and efficiency improvement; D, leading the industry through mergers and acquisitions to achieve patent breakthrough, most companies expect to obtain patent protection through patent licensing, tends to intense competition based on. 2015 domestic patent related events increased significantly, more close to the operating level of enterprise competition. For example: in 2015, the white LED patent owner TOYOTA synthesis and Jufei, REFOND, ashineon etc. the licensing agreement; in February 2015, the United States ITC voted to the United States Feit, Xiamen Feit, Taiwan Unity Microelectronics (East Bay, East Bay American Marketing Company) 337 investigation of four enterprises in May 2015; Corelle patent litigation enika silicone patent is declared invalid and events. 5, domestic LED patent ability improved rapidly, but there are still obvious weaknesses. Is mainly reflected in 5 aspects:. Patent applications grew faster than the world, but the original invention patent, patent. Peripheral; core patents in some technical areas, but there are still many gaps in technology;. Mainly concentrated in patent research institutes, industry conversion rate is not high; most. There is no domestic enterprise patent strategy, patent operation and lack of awareness;. Lack of patent application system layout, do not form a valid patent network, international patent application and the proportion of international market disproportionate;. Domestic patent can not form a network layout, no foreign patent protection status will also be in the development of semiconductor lighting industry a period of weakness. The patent strategy and the different strategy to two, patent strategy of enterprises, 1 different stages of development of the enterprise patent operation is the advanced stage of enterprise patent strategy, is the key to create a unique core competitiveness. The primary stage of the enterprise is the stage of patent accumulation, the intermediate stage is mainly to give patent protection, and the advanced stage is the main stage of patent operation. As shown below: 2, the domestic LED patent on the competitiveness of enterprises to build support. The domestic LED enterprises are in the initial stage of patent development, of course, there are a number of LED companies have started to enter the middle stage, become the backbone of the development of LED enterprises in China, a few leading enterprises began to take some strategic measures in the advanced stage, the construction industry has led force operating system patent. Therefore, there is still a considerable gap between domestic LED enterprises and international industry leading enterprises. 3, domestic LED enterprises must have the aid of patent operation can really form the core competitiveness. LED enterprise status and different goals, determines the different enterprise patent strategy; patent strategy in the primary stage and the intermediate stage is passive, defensive strategy, it is difficult to form industry innovation leadership; advanced stage to domestic LED must enter the patent operation has the initiative in the global LED industry competition. With the patent rights as the main content of the intellectual property rights operation ability, market operation of patent resources is the core competitiveness of enterprises; an enterprise sustainable competitive advantage comes from its core technology as the main body or the foundation of knowledge assets, and is no longer the "comparative advantage"; to protect intellectual property rights according to law the market for the exclusive right to constitute the "core competitiveness". Key enterprises: a patent strategy system. Including: patent planning, patent early warning, patent sources, patent structure and compound talents. For example, millet through wisdom Valley to build their own ecosystem patent barriers. As shown below: strategy two: International distribution. Including: through the improvement of the international patent layout to cope with global competition, to protect the benefits of the enterprise; by targeting the major international markets and the patent environment in good areas, especially in Europe and the United States and other regions of the patent layout. The following is a list of companies applying for the largest number of patents to the European Patent Office in 2014 years
