Everlight Firmly Defends Patented LED Light Sales Plan

Nichia, the LED factory, recently sued the Tokyo District Court for billions of infringements. Everlight also immediately responded to the Taiwan media at the first time and pointed out that it is currently checking whether Tiabana, which is referred to as Japan’s Asia-Pacific, and the products it sells are related to Everlight.

Since Everlight announced its own brand of LED lighting will enter the Japanese market, Japan and Asia patent fire more intense, attempting to build a firewall in Japan with patent warfare. Ye Chufu, chairman of the Board of Directors, emphasized that the action of Everlight’s counterattack will not stop, and that the timetable plan for the next year will remain unchanged in the Japanese market.

According to foreign sources, Nissan released a press release on the 5th and announced that the company has determined that Taiwan’s Yiguang white LED products imported by Tachibana Eletech to Japan have infringed the company’s patent No. 4530094 (hereinafter referred to as the 094 patent). The infringement lawsuit was brought to the Tokyo District Court. In addition to the request to stop the infringement, Nissan filed a claim for damages. In addition, Nissan also required Tachibana to stop selling the above infringing products.

In fact, Nissan also reported to Yeon Kwang on the same patent litigation method on September 1 this year. At that time, Nissan had sued the Tokyo court for the sale of billion light white LED products by Chip One Stop in Japan (GT3528). Series) infringed the company's 094 patent. However, Yiguang pointed out that after the exact verification, Chip One Stop was not a billionaire customer, and Everlight proposed invalidation of the patents on the Asia-Pacific.

According to statistics, after the 311 earthquake in Japan, the sales volume of LED bulbs grew by 2 to 3 times compared with that before the earthquake, accounting for the first time that the proportion of electric bulb lighting exceeded that of incandescent bulbs. Japan's 311 earthquake is undoubtedly the biggest driving force for accelerating the growth of Japan's LED lighting market. In 2011, the standards for LED bulbs and straight-tube LED bulbs were introduced, and the price of LED bulbs dropped to around 2,000 yen. Japan Has become the main battlefield of LED lighting, billion light plans its own brand to enter the Japanese market next year.

Yiguang pointed out that after Nichia Chemical began a series of suing lawsuits against Yiguang in 2006, Taiwan Patent Civil Litigation and Administrative Litigation had ruled in July 2010 and March 2011 that Japan’s patents were invalid. At the same time, Everlight's R&D and patent team continued to study the effectiveness of the patents related to Japan-Asian Chemicals, gradually discovered the patent invalid evidence it advocated, and successively issued patent invalidations in major global markets. Currently, Everlight continues to assert Japan's patent invalidity and defend its patent rights.
