Now is not the question that comes or not, but when is the problem, Dr. Li Wenyu, Secretary General of the LED Industry Patent Alliance, when talking about the arrival of the patent war in the domestic LED industry, directly refers to the current, most importantly, most enterprises Patent awareness has not yet been established. When it comes to the domestic LED patent issue, it seems that it has always been tepid. In recent years, the development of the semiconductor lighting market has begun to make the increasingly serious LED intellectual property issue attract the attention of the industry. As domestic LED companies, especially listed companies, continue to break through to the upstream of the industrial value chain, the market impact on international giants is also growing, and patent litigation cases among enterprises have become more and more. Many intellectual property experts bluntly say that the growing domestic LED enterprise patent war crisis is not alarmist. Despite the significant increase in the number of LED patent applications in mainland China in recent years, China's position in the global LED intellectual property landscape has not been fundamentally improved. On the contrary, the issue of LED intellectual property rights is becoming a bottleneck restricting the development of China's LED semiconductor lighting industry. The homogenization competition caused by intellectual property issues is becoming more and more serious, the problem of lack of industrial ownership is deepening, and the risk of trade friction is also increasing. Breaking through the LED patent containment of foreign companies and dissolving the industrial crisis caused by LED intellectual property rights has become a key issue in the development of China's LED semiconductor lighting industry. The lack of patent awareness can not keep up with the pace of patent litigation According to the current status of LED development, the domestic LED industry's intellectual property rights and patents have some of their own characteristics. At the same time as the industry continues to develop, there is no grain in the face of international patent sticks, and the domestic patent melee is often disordered. As an emerging industry, LED core patents in many fields are in the hands of foreign giants. Domestic companies have few core patents, and they are mostly concentrated in downstream applications. In the face of international giants’ patent blocking, it is difficult to turn over. This is also the main factor in the passiveness of litigation. Now, with the market and capital in hand, Chinese LED companies are beginning to develop their own LED chip products and application products, which will inadvertently infringe on the patents of some international LED giants. However, for international LED manufacturers such as Philips and Osram, they generally do not warn in advance, but will continue to collect evidence of infringement from the other company. When the time is ripe, they will directly take patent litigation and other actions. Many companies are only sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight. They all think that the patent war will not go to their own heads. Even if it is burned to the domestic market, it is only a listed company. Dr. Li Wenyu, secretary general of the LED Industry Patent Alliance, believes that this is a lot of domestic enterprises. Mentality. The patent awareness of enterprises is very weak, and the degree of emphasis on intellectual property rights and the understanding of the consequences of infringement are seriously insufficient. In particular, the enterprise intellectual property structure system is weak, lack of specialized talents, and the company has few full-time patent personnel. Many patent-aware enterprises did not form a very clear idea during the construction of patents, let alone the layout of patents from the overall industrial chain and industry status. These patents ultimately did not form combat effectiveness. Results. The most distressing thing is that the industry's scientific research patents industry transformation efficiency is worrying. According to the data on the website of China Intellectual Property Research Association, the patent conversion rate of some scientific research units is less than 10, and the patent transfer conversion rate of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Semiconductor Lighting R&D Center is only 16 The disconnect between patents and market demand has also become an important issue before us. The patent layout of the curve overtaking should be more advanced. A patent litigation case of Apple and Samsung, which received much attention at the end of last year, ended with a court judgment that Samsung compensated Apple for $450 million, regardless of the amount of compensation or the two major The patent entanglement of international giant companies undoubtedly does not attract the attention of everyone. Behind the case, we are more concerned about the implications of the two in patent litigation. Previously, Samsung had 32,000 patents in the US, and Apple had only 7,000. Apple had been in a disadvantage in terms of quantity. In terms of patent layout, Apple’s action is worth every domestic. Business learning. Similarly, the number of patents is at a disadvantage, but it can win, thanks to its effective integration and mining of intellectual property resources. Sun Yinsheng, legal director of Beijing Deli Intellectual Property Services Co., Ltd. believes that enterprises should pay attention to patent applications, but also pay attention to the layout of corporate patents. Especially in the current situation of insufficient domestic innovation capability, patent mining must have advanced awareness and patent search. Based on technical analysis, enhance patent competitiveness. He believes that a company must carry out patent distribution from the entire development strategy and business ideas, and manage patent products with purpose and efficiency. The specific layout should include the following aspects. Carpet style. Utilize all patent-pending materials to quickly generate a large number of patents, enrich the company's patent defense, and once it encounters a blockade, it can be used as a negotiation weight. Of course, this requires effective patent quality management. City wall style. In a certain technical field or subject, apply for patents on technical solutions and technical achievements, and form a patent wall to block opponents. This requires more understanding of the market and will be more effective. Roadblock type. This method generally occurs in the early patent layout of other enterprises, and carries out targeted patent applications, using its vulnerability to apply for corresponding patents to block. Of course, this does not form an effective network to prevent competitors from entering their own technical fields, and even giving others the opportunity. Sugar-coated. This is the SME's core patent application patent around the international giant enterprise, that is, a patent revolves around a technical solution, and the patent is extended to a wider and wider field. In other words, we have taken advantage of existing advantages and then discussed the application of technology and layout patents. However, given the current weak core technology and the ever-expanding domestic LED market, how do we turn disadvantages into advantages? Yun Danping, deputy director of the High-tech Department of the Guangdong Provincial Department of Science and Technology, believes that with regard to the development of patented technology, China can have different development ideas from foreign countries. We can attach importance to the standardization of LEDs and make use of the domestic market capacity advantage to formulate special standards. It is the active position in the formulation of patents. As we all know, the market capacity of LED upstream chip packaging has gradually approached saturation, and the corresponding patent application brought by the standardization of LED optical components is very impressive. The current standardization work in China is still going on. It is necessary to grasp the punctuality according to the law of market development, and it also needs the joint promotion of members of domestic patent alliances and enterprises. We are painstakingly thinking that the domestic LED market patent environment needs further optimization. Throughout the domestic LED lighting industry investment scale continues to expand, the emergence of listed companies and the rapid increase in production capacity, as well as the rapid growth of the LED consumer market, it is not difficult to foresee that in the near future, the domestic LED industry is very likely to encounter patent infringement lawsuits. Therefore, you must take precautions and take precautions. Editor's Note: In fact, compared with other industries, in the field of LED, the number of patents in China has been among the best in the world, but compared with the developed countries in Europe and America, the amount of patents in China is relatively low. How to achieve the leap from quantitative change to qualitative change requires the joint efforts of all parties.
