[High-tech LED News] Recently, the reporter learned from the just-concluded 10th Light Fair of Guzhen, a lighting company, Zhongshan Keshun Analysis and Testing Technology Co., Ltd. (referred to as "Ke Shun Company") to China (Zhongshan) Lighting Knowledge The Property Rights Quick Rights Protection Center (referred to as the “rights protection center”) complained to 20 companies in one breath, claiming that these 20 companies allegedly infringed on 1-3 LED lights with patented flexible LED SMD strips, which caused widespread concern in the industry.
According to the procedure, the rights protection center first requires Keshun Company to provide sufficient evidence or supporting materials to notify the participating company to reply within 24 hours after the verification and confirmation. If the applicant fails to provide evidence, the “claimed party” will be It is necessary to dismantle the alleged infringing products within a limited number of hours; for individual companies that refuse to dismantle, the joint exhibition company, public security, rights protection center, municipal intellectual property office, water and electric power, etc. The law enforcement team was forced to take off the water when the water was cut off.
Jiao Xuejun, chief of the patent department of Zhongshan Intellectual Property Office, said that the dispute over the utility model patent technology combining LED lamp beads and flexible hoses has brought the sub-divided lighting products into the third protection patent. Big battle.
Jiao Xuejun told reporters that the flexible LED patch light strip can make the LED light strip twist like a wire, and can be cut to stretch or bend into various shapes. At the end of last year, this flexible LED light strip was popular in the industry and triggered a series of lawsuits. In fact, the patent complaint filed by Keshun Company has been the third patent war on the lamp belt. Significant improvements or advances in each of the lights have led to industry pursuits and corresponding patent battles.
In response to complaints from Keshun Company, the reporter recently followed the patent law enforcement team to watch the law enforcement, and the scene was quite intriguing: most of the respondents expressed understanding of the protection of intellectual property rights, and can actively cooperate with the allegedly infringing products to be removed or dismantled, but individual Exhibitors who specialize in light strips, as well as exhibitors around them, do not understand law enforcement.
A lighting company believes that the LED light strip is a well-known technology in the industry, not a company's patent, and the company is not the earliest.
In this regard, Jiao Xuejun said that there are many patents on a light strip. Each patent claim has several necessary technical features. It is based on the point of view, as long as there is one or no equivalent, such as non-intermittent board settings. No, or no coating, it is not infringement, only if all the necessary technical features are consistent with the product, can confirm that the product constitutes infringement.
