西門子集團(tuán)旗下照明行業(yè)領(lǐng)先制造商歐司朗公司日前表示,已經(jīng)就LED技術(shù)專利權(quán)問題在美國和德國起訴三星和LG,在日本起訴LG。歐司朗還表示,將在中國起訴LG電子。
歐司朗在一份聲明中表示,三星和LG集團(tuán)侵犯了歐司朗公司的白色和表面貼裝LED產(chǎn)品專利。歐司朗目前在積極尋求司法途徑,防止其技術(shù)被用在其他未授權(quán)公司的產(chǎn)品上,并且要求相關(guān)國家禁止進(jìn)口這些公司的侵權(quán)LED產(chǎn)品。
此外歐司朗正在尋求經(jīng)濟(jì)補(bǔ)償。該公司表示,補(bǔ)償范圍應(yīng)該涵蓋剽竊了歐司朗LED技術(shù)的終端產(chǎn)品,如 LED電視和電腦屏幕等。
這些專利涵蓋LED的電氣、熱連接和結(jié)構(gòu),以及通過控制芯片的熒光粉LED藍(lán)白光轉(zhuǎn)換技術(shù)。這種白光LED的典型應(yīng)用包括背光電視機(jī)和顯示器。
“我們有相當(dāng)數(shù)量的專利,是在深入研發(fā)工作多年中開發(fā)出來的。我們的主要競爭者,如飛利浦/ Lumileds、Cree和Nichia都已經(jīng)承認(rèn)了歐司朗強(qiáng)大的知識產(chǎn)權(quán)地位,并與我們簽署專利交叉許可協(xié)議,” 歐司朗光電半導(dǎo)體公司首席執(zhí)行官Aldo Kamper在一份聲明中說。
在2010財(cái)年,歐司朗年收入達(dá)到4.7億歐元(約69億美元),公司員工已超過40000名。

Osram sues Samsung, LG over LED tech
Peter Clarke
LONDON – Osram, a leading manufacturer of lighting and part of Siemens AG, has said it has filed patent infringement law suits against Samsung and LG in the United States and Germany and against LG in Japan. Osram said it would also file a suit against LG in China on Tuesday (June 7).
Osram said in a statement that Samsung and LG group companies infringe Osram patents on white and surface mountable LEDs and that it is seek orders to prevent unauthorized use of its technology and bans on the importation of products that include such LEDs. In addition Osram is seeking financial compensation. The LEDs that Osram alleges infringe end up in such products as LED-blacklit televisions and computer screens, the company said.
The patents cover such things as the electrical and thermal connection and structure of the LEDs as well as the conversion of blue light from the LED chip into white light by the use of phosphors. Typical applications of such white LEDs include backlighting for TV sets and monitors.
"We have a considerable number of patents which we developed in the course of many years of intensive research and development work. Major competitors such as Philips/Lumileds, Cree, and Nichia have acknowledged our strong IP position by entering into cross-license agreements with Osram," said Aldo Kamper, CEO of Osram Opto Semiconductors, in a statement.
In the 2010 financial year Osram achieved revenues of 4.7 billion euro (about $6.9 billion) and the company has more than 40,000 employees worldwide.
