At present, China is the manufacturing base of global lighting products, as well as the production, consumption and export of lighting products. Since 2013, with the overall economic environment, the overall warming of the lighting industry, lighting industry in China in 2013 the overall size exceeded 470 billion yuan, the export amount of $35 billion 700 million, while the LED is still a big country style lighting, lighting is showing rapid growth. At the same time, intellectual property issues related to the sustainable development of the entire LED industry, if not properly addressed could trigger a series of industrial crisis, how to resolve the LED intellectual property rights lead to the crisis in the industry is the key to the current development of Chinese LED semiconductor lighting industry.
The day before, CSA Research released in 2014 second "China LED lighting products export quarterly (2014Q2)", for the second quarter of 2014, exports of LED lighting products in the first half of 2014 in China were analyzed. The report shows that in the first half of 2014, China's lighting products exports continue to maintain steady growth momentum, according to CSA Research incomplete statistics, China's total exports of lighting products reached 18 billion yuan, an increase of about 16%.
Among them, in addition to a slight amount of CFL export growth, incandescent lamp, halogen lamp, metal halide lamp and other traditional lighting products have different degrees of decline, including LED lighting, not exports, lighting and other products has increased significantly, the export amount of approximately $6 billion 150 million, an increase of about 80%.
CSA Research further analysis of Customs export data shows that in the first half of 2014, China's LED lighting exports continue to maintain rapid growth, LED lighting products export value of about 4 billion 350 million U. s.dollars, an increase of up to 135%.
From Beijing Deli intellectual property service limited company lawyer Sun Yinsheng believes that the current intellectual property awareness LED industry is relatively strong, but China enterprise has not yet reached the international stage, the core technology is still in the hands of the hands of the international giants, the domestic use of the chip is still foreign technology, the core patent litigation not going to happen, the litigation risk mainly concentrated in larger applications. Therefore, in the future domestic LED enterprises in the application or packaging areas will be a lot of disputes.
From the government level, the government assumes the role of "guider" in the patent strategy. Guangdong Provincial Intellectual Property Office industry promotion department deputy director Li Wei said, the government to business strategy is divided into four aspects, the first government to foster and guide enterprises awareness of intellectual property and the ability to use intellectual property rights; the second is the government to promote industrial applications, guide enterprises to the development and utilization of patent information; third is to create a patent application environment for example, participation in the construction of the platform; fourth very important, is the need to increase patent protection, allow enterprises to see the value of patents.
un Danping, deputy director of the Hi Tech Department of Guangdong provincial science and Technology Department, also said that the patent belongs to itself and the standard belongs to the public. Moreover, standards and patents are related and differentiated. Patents are their own things on the whole. Standards are what the public has, which is the difference between public rights and private rights. Therefore, in the field of LED, private rights and public rights should be made clear.
At the same time, the industry said that China's LED industry lacks core patents, while the Chinese Academy of Sciences Semiconductor Research Institute of semiconductor lighting research and Development Center Dr. Guo Jinxia said it does not agree. She said that hundreds of thousands of domestic LED patent, in this huge patent data, there must be gold, so Chinese LED industry is not there a patent ammunition, but did not go to dig seriously, have to do something active patent, do not want to provoke a lawsuit, but to issue some warnings, told foreign enterprises Chinese also have intellectual property into the China market to respect the intellectual property rights of enterprises Chinese.
Analysis of the customs export data from Research CSA show that the export destinations, Europe is still the mainstream market in China LED lighting products exports, while BRIC countries and other emerging markets is increasing rapidly. The first half of 2014, China's LED lighting products more than 50% of exports are mainly concentrated in the United States, the European Union and Japan, the top ten exporting countries / regions were the United States, Russia, Hongkong, Israel, Spain Chinese, Britain, Spain, United Arab Emirates, Holland and Italy. While Russia's growth has been amazing, it has risen to become the second largest export market in china.
Some analysts pointed out that the China LED industry has experienced ten years of rapid development, has weak to strong, industry scale billions from initial development to today's about two hundred billion, China LED enterprises in ten years "as a rapid emergence and growth of bamboo shoots after a spring rain.". The quantity and scale of LED export enterprises have shown rapid growth. As China's LED export scale continues to expand, enterprises are paying more and more attention to patent self protection, and foreign enterprises begin to pay attention to patent problems when they enter the Chinese market. For enterprises, standard patents are their own, and if there is a patent, they should take the law to safeguard their rights, and accordingly, the value of the patent will belong to itself. For the industry, the CSA alliance has also been accompanied by industrial development, attention to the growth of enterprises, LED enterprises in the standard patent protection will also play a greater role. So, with the continuous growth of Chinese export scale LED, LED patent protection is more important, patent protection is not a business thing, only China LED industry alliance, enterprise, government, law and some other agencies to work together, in order to better protect the healthy development of LED industry.
