2013 domestic LED patent development conjecture

However, geomantic turn by turns, the patent barriers is not had not broken, but appeared signs of loosening. In accordance with the provisions of the patent law, the invention patent protection period for twenty years, utility model patents and patent of appearance design protection period for 10 years, namely from 1990 began to propose LED related patents, has gradually matured since 2010, with a great part of the important white LED. In other words, in the next two to three years, there will be a number of 1990 s core patent has matured. In addition, the related patent in phosphors in 2012-2014 years gradually failure.
So, LED packaging enterprise development will bring a new opportunity, hope in the absence of phosphor powder white LED lighting technology chopped emerge.
Barriers to warm up, and "fortress version" patent buried hidden trouble
In recent years, the domestic LED enterprise about LED patent applications emerge in endlessly, but careful research, you will find that most of the patent is not original, they or SheRenYaHui, in international LED giant on the basis of the original patent do some repair, or free riding in a utility model, or appearance design DouJuan, patent "fortress changed quite high degree, gold content nature also sell at a discount greatly. Once encounter international giant cause global wide range of litigation, the domestic or there will be more than 70% of the patent failure.
At present, the export overseas market LED enterprises have frequently suffered during the patent. At the same time, with the mainland LED lighting industry in the rapid development, the international lighting giants have been relying on the core technology, beaching the Chinese market. China LED industry although in production and price advantage, but as far as technology, it is difficult to keep pace with the international brand of a gleam of. At the appointed time, the army, brand -- carrying patent self-respect, LED industry may repeat mistakes of the photovoltaic industry. Even the experts, the future 2 ~ 3 years, very likely there will be foreign giant collective against local small and medium-sized lighting enterprise patent infringement event occurs.
But, thankfully, some enterprises have started to save for a rainy day, for instance, is bright and beautiful, the Ming is respectively in 2012 February and April, and philips signed patent cooperation agreement. In November, crystal electric and Japanese Toshiba mutual authorized AlGaInPLED technology patent. In addition, Taiwan factory ladies round in December with Toyota announced synthesis for patent cross-licensing.
May foresee, along with market competition intensifying, patent disputes will become normal. In order to prevent this, the enterprise in the absence of ace patent premise, may be appropriately to buy some technology patent, or by a number of enterprises jointly funded to get license authorization, at the same time, through the established patent alliance, strengthen the patent strategy research, bold use "patent pool" method, a lot of the patent holder of patent together, cross authorization, mutual permission, and ultimately to BaoTuan way to deal with the international LED giant "encirclement and suppression".
Market segments or now patent "bestow favor on newly"
Indeed, the vast majority of LED core technology, is in the hands of a few international companies, however, LED the prick silk, also don't have to feel powerless and frustrated. Throughout the history of LED, it is known that LED applications development is new, from the initial mobile phone backlight now, the lighting, the behind the scenes to seat, but the future will be more toward the direction of the development of artificial intelligence. So, to LED patent of digging, whether innovation, invention or utility model, or appearance design, have a great space:
1) silicon substrate patent is expected to reach new heights: in 2012, the Chinese manufacturers crystal can photoelectric launch of the luminous efficiency more than 120 lm/W silicon base power LED chip products, let us feel proud and elated thoroughly a. The industry believes that in the sapphire substrate LED field, China's LED enterprise almost no core technology patents, and has been in a passive state. However, silicon substrate LED chips, China LED enterprise can and foreign manufacturers stand in the same starting line, and is expected to run away from the trap and create silicon substrate patent, in order to compete for the market right.
2) artificial intelligence LED or ChengXinChong: intelligent mobile phones and tablet PC has been widely known, artificial intelligent control technology and LED application combination has become the trend. Recently, Philips invented by Android and iOS technology program control Huelights. And the United States ByteLight indoor lighting company, developed a LED light based on the orientation of service, makes the program in a second time to calculate the current position, the accuracy can be achieved within one meter. This LED lamps and lanterns is a blinking, again by the user intelligent mobile phone camera receiving and testing, and the user does not need to mobile phone camera alignment to touch a specific direction, can also to receive feedback to direct light source signal. Above all the signs are that, since the intelligent mobile equipment has been popular with consumers like, then LED lighting and mobile intelligent equipment technology union, will be in the near future gaining popularity. You can consider from mobile equipment and LED technology for a cooperation between the connecting point, technology research and patent crucial to trigger a new round of LED technology storm.
In short, the patent is a protracted war, to specialize in technology, well-grounded, is it possible to set the world on fire. In 2013, even if can't do the world's top three, we also want to with positive energy to overthrow patent dashan, or independent research and development, independent innovation, or cross authorization, BaoTuan break through, no matter what way, in this spring blooms, planting a faith, believe that the bloomy spring season will not far away from us.
