Elec-Tech enter the market of Japan and the United States to break the overseas patent barrier

Just after the Spring Festival de Ho Runda (002005.SZ), it seems to enter a season of harvest orders. Following the contract at the end of February LED street and Beijing day Xu Hengyuan energy company signed a total amount of 395 million yuan, Elec-Tech LED lighting products in early March and successfully pass through the market of Japan and the United States, with the United States Shing Image international company and Japan signed the double bird company 283 million yuan LED lighting products agents and procurement contracts, a total of 566 million yuan. "Sold in the United States and Japan market LED lighting products, LED chip will use Elec-Tech independent intellectual property rights." The deputy general manager Dunfee LED said on the "high", the Elec-Tech LED chip and LED lighting products breakthrough LED patent protection the most stringent and Japanese markets, a huge breakthrough is China LED upstream manufacturers in the international market. Dunfee said, in order to expand the international market for LED, to avoid patent disputes, company executives also went to visit Japan, TOYOTA and other international synthetic Nichia LED manufacturers. Respectively, with the above international signed a series of agreements, including the purchase of the other chip products, we also divided the market. "This is the international LED giants to enter the international market Elec-Tech chip reason. As for the export of overseas LED lighting products, specifically what chips, depending on the needs of customers, we also have part of the LED chip is the purchase of Philips lumileds." Dunfee said. However, Suzhou Institute of nano researcher, Suzhou nanoking photoelectric chairman Liang Bingwen on the LED chip Elec-Tech breakthrough patent barriers in the international market, still hold a conservative view. Chinese LED chip manufacturers want to enter the U.S. - Japan market, it must be authorized by the international LED manufacturers." Liang Bingwen pointed out that the patent is a very serious matter, must have a legal document, but also in the international patent related organization registration, business cooperation and patent licensing is totally different, never confused." Patent barriers Liang Bingwen pointed out that the patent itself a kind of interest is exchange between, from business cooperation to patent licensing also needs a process, "estimates Elec-Tech also hope that through business cooperation, and strengthen the international LED manufacturers communication, so as to obtain a patent license to pave the way." For the same reason, the domestic LED chip enterprises Sanan Optoelectronics (600703.SH) at the end of last year, $9 million investment in the United States, set up a wholly-owned subsidiary of the United states. Sanan optoelectronics said that the establishment of the United States subsidiary is mainly in order to enhance R & D strength, convenient for the local LED company product patent, the formation of self protection technology. But it is regarded as the ordinary domestic LED industry, an optoelectronic signal ready to seek international LED manufacturers patent authorization, to expand the international market. Because, in the past 15 years, the global LED patent lawsuit has not stopped, LED global patent lawsuit generated by up to 168. Last year, OSRAM, CREE, TOYOTA and PHILPS, Nichia chemical synthesis respectively reached LED patent cross licensing agreement. So far, the world's five major LED giants have basically formed a new patent cross network. Instead, the number of patent China LED enterprise is poor. For example, REFOND, honglitronic, Lehman photoelectric, changelight Elec-Tech, Sanan optoelectronics and 6 companies in 2010 the total number of patents in LED 707, only 77 invention patents. Owns 44 patents Elec-Tech, its invention patent is the main source of a Korean EPIVALLEY company acquisition. Elec-Tech chairman Wang Donglei also on the "high LED" industry said Elec-Tech acquisition of Korea EPIVALLEY company is mainly directed to patent, patent protection, the application of LED products can be sold to foreign markets of china. But Liang Bingwen pointed out that South Korea EPIVALLEY company's patent did not open around the international LED giants of the original patent, not enough for Elec-Tech LED chip international development escort. "Must have the patent protection in the international market." Zhen Mingli (01868.HK) marketing director Zhang Zhitai said, Zhen Mingli at the beginning of March has just signed with the PHILPS authorized more than 1 thousand patents, all associated with the LED LED light source and lighting industry to use all kinds of PHILPS open patent technology. Zhang Zhitai pointed out that the pharmaceutical patent license is only to obtain white light illumination, does not involve LED chip level. That is to say, neo-neon LED chip also have no access to international patent market entry. International order from the above point of view, it is difficult to confirm the LED chip Elec-Tech, really breakthrough overseas market patent barrier. However, for large orders Elec-Tech market of Japan and the United States is the fact. Elec-Tech's announcement shows that the United States Shing Image international company became the sole agent responsible for Elec-Tech, LED lighting products Elec-Tech to WAL-MART, and related customer service service. The products of Shing Image include 19 kinds of LED lighting products, such as bulb lamp and spotlight, etc., and promised to increase from June to 18 months of not less than US $45 million (about 283 million yuan). Japan two birds with Elec-Tech has 5 years of cooperation, had to buy small appliances elec-tech. The two birds with Elec-Tech agreed, in 2012 business volume growth of 30%-40%, the next three years, including the 2012 business volume reached US $45 million. Announcements, Elec-Tech will support two birds in the residential and commercial areas of the LED lighting business development, products include LED lamp, bulb lamp, ceiling lamp, chandeliers and lamps. In addition, with the two birds are also Elec-Tech LED jointly developed a new series of lighting products.
