[Technews Technology News] LED giant Nichia Corp. issued a new statement earlier, and announced the results of the German court decision on three patent infringement lawsuits. On December 5th and 15th, 2016, the German Dusseldorf District Court ruled that the white LED products manufactured by the German subsidiary of Yiguang were infringing the Japanese YAG patents of Japan, so that Yiguangguang paid damages to Japan. Reimbursement and request for the recovery and destruction of all infringing products.

Judgment 1: REGO-LighTIng sales of billions of German subsidiaries infringing products

The lawsuit began in 2012 when Nichia filed a patent infringement lawsuit against the German Dusseldorf District Court, accusing the German LED lighting supplier REGO-LighTIng of selling white LED lighting products for the German subsidiary Zenaro LighTIng. . Nichia said that the product was infringed by the Japanese patent YAG European Patent No. EP 936 682 (ie German patent DE 697 02 929).

The two judgments of the German court found that Yiguang infringed on the Japanese YAG patent, Yiguang: the patent invalidation procedure has been proposed.

On September 3, 2013, the German court issued a first-instance judgment, arguing that REGO-LighTIng infringed the Japanese YAG patent. Later, although REGO-Lighting appealed to the Dusseldorf Appeals Court, the court dismissed the appeal without a verbal argument because the court held that the company had no chance of winning the case.

On December 5, 2016, the Dusseldorf Appeals Court issued a second-instance judgment confirming the Zenaro Lighting LED lighting products sold by REGO-Lighting, infringing the Japanese Yafang YAG patent.

Judgment 2: Yiguang's German subsidiary WOFI infringes two YAG patents

On the other hand, Nichia also filed two patent infringement suits with the German subsidiary of the company, WOFI Leuchten Wortmann & Filz (WOFI), to the German Dusseldorf District Court. Nichia believes that the white LED products manufactured by WOFI infringe on the two YAG-related patents of Japan, including European Patent No. EP2 197 053 (ie German Patent DE 697 40 792) and EP 2 276 080 (ie German Patent DE 697) 40 795).

The above two Nichia YAG patents were approved by the European Patent Office in July 2015. The two patent technologies are mainly related to the YAG phosphor and GaN blue LED combination.

Nichia said that the German court had made the first-instance judgment on the above two patent infringement lawsuits on December 15, 2016. In the first judgment, WOFI has two kinds of white LED products, which infringe the first request of Japanese YAG European Patent No. EP2 197 053. The second judgment confirms that WOFI has ten kinds of white LED products, which infringe on Japaneseization. The first request of YAG European Patent No. EP2 276 080.

The German Court's request for Japan's Asianization not only issued a permanent injunction against WOFI, but also ordered it to make a book for the calculation of damages and pay damages. It also required WOFI to recover infringing products from its customers and destroy its possession. Infringing products.

In response to the German court's verdict and the Japan Asianization statement, Yiguang also responded by expressing respect for the judge's support for the Japanese-Asianization, but since the proceedings are still in progress, the current judgment is not final and will be fully committed. Go to appeal. Yiguang pointed out that patent invalidation procedures have been filed for the above three Japanese-made YAG patents, including European Patent Nos. EP 936 682, EP 2 197 053, and EP 2 276 080, which are currently under trial. Yiguang believes that the three patents have sufficient invalid reasons, and therefore believe that the court will invalidate the Japanese patent, and Yiguang will also obtain a favorable judgment.
