According to reports, the current design contest entries for teachers and students of relevant institutions, lighting designers at home and abroad, lighting design enthusiasts, etc.. The first prize, a bonus of 100 thousand yuan.

Yuan Songhua, deputy mayor of Guzhen Town, said that China is the production and export of lighting power, but over the years the domestic lighting manufacturers in the imitation stage, the lack of independent property rights, the formation of world-class brands. Organizers want to borrow the design competition, enhance the awareness of independent innovation of domestic lighting production enterprises, improve the design ability and level of the lighting industry, so as to enhance the international status of China lighting industry.

Foreign exhibition ban Chinese people take pictures

Russian buyers lalisha began in 2007, said she was in the town, the town lights the purchase lamps, the shortcoming is the lack of their own design, a lot of lamps is copied in other countries popular style.

Larissa said: "the lighting manufacturers cooperation our company last year and a Italy, Italy manufacturers in our store visit to see our town from lamps procurement, put forward a request to terminate the cooperation with us, because there are three lamps designed their town and the town lights together to copy. Zhanmai. "

Customer manager Guangzhou Kaiying Exhibition Co., Miss Li, one of the major work of the company is the organization of domestic manufacturers to go abroad to participate in the exhibition, according to customers reflect, in Italy, Germany, France, the three famous national lighting design, lighting exhibition ban Chinese photos. Miss Li said: "afraid of Chinese manufacturers to copy their design. "

In the 11 China Guzhen International Lighting Fair and LED Application Exhibition, many export-oriented enterprises responsible for the recognition of the existence of the phenomenon of copying foreign design.

Zhongshan City crown lighting manager Lin Meixian said, the company in the design of the lighting will refer to foreign popular design, and then be modified. Many foreign manufacturers are required to provide a certificate of patent. In fact, learn from foreign design and modification of the lamp design can still apply to the appearance of the patent, so the reference is not illegal.

A large town lighting factory, a person in charge of a columnar lighting company displayed in the fair on the "reference" also exists in the design, but in the "reference" after the "add a base" improved, the lamps also apply to the patent.

Chinese Zhongshan (lighting) intellectual property rights center quickly established on June 16, 2011, director of the center for rights week T. introduction, since the rights center after the establishment of infringement cases handled more than 200 cases, the vast majority of lighting design disputes.

Out of the cottage design influence

U.S. buyers, said Reid, according to the data in his hand, Guzhen lighting has occupied more than half of China's market, it should be said to be very strong. But the international trend is led by France, Italy and other big countries, rather than the ancient town to guide the ancient town lamp factory in order to sell their products had to copy others design. This is a vicious circle, the more copying other people's design, the influence of China's lighting is smaller, the more foreign design guide the trend, and then the ancient town of the lamp factory will have to copy more.

Reid said: if the ancient town can guide the international trend, that is, other countries copied the ancient town. To guide the international trend needs to have enough influence, need to really come up with their own good design, and recognized worldwide. Ancient town enterprises need to recognize this as soon as possible. "

Guzhen lighting lighting companies have been aware of the importance of the design, some companies have no independent design department, in recent years, the introduction of talent and equipment plan independent research and development, from OEM to ODM transformation. While some of the stronger companies go more forward, such as Qilang lighting, the company acquired Italy lighting brand, invited a number of countries established designers and design center, quickly occupy a space for one person in the overseas market.
