Seoul semiconductor win in Taiwan, Japan Enplas company LED patent was canceled?

LED patent litigation related to another pile. According to South Korea's LED semiconductor manufacturers in Seoul, Japan in 2013 the famous Enplas company suddenly on the product price increases two times, and asked the Seoul semiconductor deposit, since then, the two companies began LED patent litigation. Seoul semiconductor representative director Li Zhenxun said in July 7th, the latest development of the case, the Japanese patent LED backlight lens lens manufacturer Enplas company in Taiwan was canceled, Seoul semiconductor made patent infringement victory in taiwan.

Not only that, Seoul semiconductor previously in the United States, South Korea, Europe and other places on the Enplas company filed a patent infringement case, all win, this time in Taiwan is not only in favor of the patent invalid litigation, which is the most special, Enplas automatic revocation of all patent applications, and give legal rights. In other words, such a result would have a certain degree of impact on the litigation in other countries.

Earlier in 2009, when the Seoul semiconductor commissioned by the Japanese Enplas company to build LCD TV backlight lens mold, Seoul semiconductor lens holders of the original patent. However, Enplas company with the same patented technology Seoul semiconductor production of lenses, direct sales to large enterprises. Since then, Enplas company to increase the volume of orders on the grounds, trading volume limit and Seoul semiconductor, and in 2013, without any warning cases, unilaterally announced price increases 2 times and required to pay 3 months deposit, will stop the supply of non payment within a week.

If the Japanese manufacturers really cut off the supply of the lens, will have a huge impact on the customer's production line, Seoul semiconductor pointed out that the company has no choice in the case, to pay the cost. Finally, Seoul semiconductor has to give up the already paid Enplas lens mold, looking for new manufacturers to re manufacture. If it is not a competitive relationship, it will not mention the relevant litigation, because of this, Seoul semiconductor in the global market with the company launched a patent infringement lawsuit Enplas.

March 24, 2014, the United States, California, the northern federal court jury verdict Enplas company intentional infringement was established, Seoul semiconductor patent valid. At the time of the jury's decision, Enplas could face up to $12 million in compensation and the risk of paying a fee for Seoul semiconductor lawyers.

2015, in the North American home appliance enterprises infringement lawsuit also won, and reached an agreement on royalties. After that, the Seoul semiconductor will also use the lens of the company Enplas LCD TV manufacturers in Europe, the patent infringement caused by the use of patent litigation.

In addition, the United States court all invalid Enplas 3 core lens patent; in South Korea, the Supreme Court of final judgment of Enplas's patent is invalid; in Europe, the European Patent Office in the technical information submitted by Seoul semiconductor, rejected Enplas's patent application.

January 26, 2015, Seoul semiconductor in Taiwan Enplas also filed a patent invalid lawsuit. Enplas in the patent war to give up the fight, the initiative to withdraw all patent applications. In the end, Enplas LED backlight patent in Taiwan is also canceled.

Seoul semiconductor IT product research and development division Liu said, Seoul semiconductor respect for intellectual property rights of others, in order to maintain the credibility of the business and business road, will continue to bring a lawsuit against the relevant violations.

According to information, Seoul semiconductor is currently ranked fifth in the global LED industry, with more than 10000 patents. At present, the company's flagship four innovation technology including LED package (WICOP), LEDMJT high voltage AC and DC drive can be patented Acrich, multi crystal technology, and 10 times brighter than the traditional LED nPola and UV Violeds top sterilization technology. At present, Seoul semiconductor in the United States, Europe, Japan and China set up 4 companies in the world with more than and 50 overseas sales offices and agents of the 150.
