Seoul Gao Ying semiconductor Kmart patent infringement

Seoul semiconductor LED lighting products in the patent infringement litigation, the United States won Kmart victory

In the patent litigation victory as a starting point, a patent infringement warning to the LED lighting manufacturer letter

To create a good social environment of respect for intellectual property rights, hope for the younger generation

LED Korea's first professional manufacturer of Seoul semiconductor, victory in the filed of American Kmart in patent litigation. Kmart is a large retailer worldwide, with a history of 120 years, annual sales of 30 trillion won ($about 26000000000), due to the invasion of Seoul semiconductor LED patent prosecution, finally decided to accept the Seoul semiconductor requirements, interrupt related product sales.

Seoul semiconductor products LED Kmart said that the lighting sales violated our company including high color technology, phosphor combination technology, multi chip technology, LED epitaxial layer growth and chip manufacturing technology, OmnidirectionLED lighting technology LED lighting manufacturing necessary patent, so last September, to Kmart, Seoul semiconductor to a California federal court filed a patent infringement lawsuit. At that time, the Seoul semiconductor claims infringement patents, but also as the Seoul semiconductor technology consultant, but also the 2014 Nobel prize for physics professor Nakamura Shuji invented filamentLED related patents.

On whether patent infringement, the two sides launched a fierce battle, finally reached an agreement with Seoul Kmart semiconductor, respect Seoul semiconductor patents, to stop selling LED bulbs, Seoul semiconductor win of big American retailer Kmart patent litigation. This is not only the first victory for Seoul semiconductor as a global retailer's patent litigation, but also proves the fact that it has relevant original technology in the manufacture of LED bulbs. Not only is global retailer Kmart, Seoul semiconductor recently filed a second patent lawsuit against Mouser, the global distributor of electronic components in germany.

In Seoul recently to include LED semiconductor filament lamp manufacturer, large LED lighting manufacturing enterprises, issued a request to stop manufacturing product patent infringement warning letter. At present, the filament LED lamp is made by Supretrend, Longstar, Topstar, Yankon and many other lighting manufacturers. If the patent infringement continues to exist, Seoul semiconductor will consider additional proceedings.

To manufacturing LED warning letters on the grounds that the circulation of violations of Seoul semiconductor LED patented products are on the market. Seoul semiconductor since the beginning of 2000, has been developing LED bulb products, including LED bulb manufacturing core technology - chip manufacturing, transparent COBpackaging, modules, bubble manufacturing process, including related patents.

Mr. NamKi-bum, vice president of Seoul Semiconductor Research Center said, now in circulation many LED lighting products are violations of Seoul semiconductor patent, so Seoul semiconductor will Kmart to end this lawsuit as a starting point, more actively take measures to control the patent infringement. He added: "we should try to eradicate the spread of patent infringement in the industry, so that retailers will respect intellectual property rights and no longer sell infringing products.". For those who still disregard patent infringement despite persistent warnings, Seoul semiconductor will continue to file patent infringement proceedings against infringing goods manufacturing enterprises and their retailers.
