According to reports, South Korea's LED factory Seoul Semiconductor will provide "patent wars" for global lighting, television and other manufacturers, and has issued infringement warnings to 29 companies around the world such as Taiwan / land / US / Europe.
In the industry, Seoul Semiconductor is known for its ultra-hard patents. In 2006, Seoul Semiconductor and global led manufacturer Japan Nissan launched a patent lawsuit. After three years of fighting, the two parties signed a mutual authorization contract.
It is reported that Seoul Semiconductor has started to visit 29 companies that have been infringed by Seoul Semiconductor since September. Among the 29 companies that were warned for infringement, there were 15 Taiwanese manufacturers such as Rongchuang (AOT, 3437), 15 mainland manufacturers such as Skyworth, 6 American companies such as Feit, and 3 European manufacturers including ledVANCE.
According to the company's official website information, Seoul Semiconductor's most frequently infringed led related patents include substrates, chips, packages and the entire system. Among them, it also involves patent patents jointly invented by Nobel Prize winners.
Among them, in the part of Taiwan's Rongchuang, according to Seoul Semiconductor, Rongchuang was infringed by the Taiwanese and Korean courts in 2006, but Rongchuang only changed the part model and continued to sell infringing goods.
Since winning the patent for Taiwan AOT (Rongchuang) in 2003, Seoul Semiconductor has initiated more than 50 patent litigations in the United States, Europe, South Korea, and other places in Taiwan, all of which ended in victory.
In 2016, Seoul Semiconductor’s patent lawsuit against Japanese lens manufacturer Enplas determined that Enplas had intentionally infringed and was awarded $4 million. At the beginning, the patent battle between Seoul Semiconductor and Enplas was difficult to understand. In 2013, Enplas tried to sue the invalidity of the Seoul Semiconductor Backlight Lens patent. Subsequently, Seoul Semiconductor launched a number of counterattacks, and finally was sentenced by the US federal court to Enplas deliberate infringement, paying Seoul semiconductor patent royalties of 4 million US dollars.
According to public information, Seoul Semiconductor is a professional LED manufacturer and currently ranks fifth in the global LED industry. From TI to lighting, there are over 10,000 patents. In addition, Seoul Semiconductor also has four independent innovations including unpackaged led (WICOP), the world's first R&D and successfully mass-produced AC and DC-driven "Acrich", patented high-voltage LED "MJT "Chip chip technology" and "nPola" which is 10 times brighter than traditional LED and top-of-the-line UV sterilization technology "Violeds" lead the global LED industry.
As the world's leading LED supplier, Seoul Semiconductor currently has four legal entities in the United States, Europe, Japan and China, and has more than 50 overseas sales offices and 150 agents worldwide.
