Something about the intellectual property of LED lighting

April of this year's Light & Sound exhibition in Frankfurt, Germany, for the share of international sales Shenzhen obtain a majority of plant, this should be an excellent product display platform, but the unexpected is one of a Shenzhen factory Video + new cross-border hybrid lighting products exhibited on the first day but was peer stole a sample, so that ** is annoyed. LED industry patent issues were again pushed to the public eye.

    
It is understood that the manufacturer has been developing innovative high-end video solutions, mainly the production of ultra-thin, lightweight, flexible and deformable structure, to achieve a variety of creative combinations of led high bay light price display system. The main revenue comes from its corporate business arena and exhibition of creative class LED display, and most exported overseas, the world 's top performances, exhibition areas shine.

    
"In other countries, particularly in the arena, theater, theater and so on, in order to achieve stunning stage effects, they require light LED display prices and perfect fit. Put in a lot of effort and time in the factory, R & D , demonstration, test, modify, and test costs several million dollars to spend, the first time in the industry with low-power LED High-power LED hybrid design, stage lighting + video mashup concept of cross-border products. "deputy general manager of the factory, told reporters that the LED display and lighting products will be separately controlled by its perfect combination of programming background is different from the LED display is also different from the light, but a whole new category.

    
The product launch will cause considerable repercussions in the international market since last February the Dutch exhibition on display was first released, a steady stream of overseas orders, customers are more interested in consulting is endless. In order to protect intellectual property rights, the manufacturers specifically applied for a patent for this product. In response to the product was stolen, although the manufacturer has now started legal proceedings, but the worrying thing is that from the legal process to go through to the execution of at least six months of the window period , plagiarism will bring huge economic for manufacturers loss. Even if ultimately held liable, but the extra costs caused by the normal development of enterprises, but also can not imagine.

   
LED display started 30 years ago, from the color, color to today's full-color, LED display technology has gradually matured. LED display high-margin era has ended, in low-margin, homogeneous products flooding the market, many companies have chosen low -cost strategy, the market completely into the other extreme.

    
2012 has some powerful
led high bay light price manufacturers attempt by some small-scale manufacturers price war eliminated, but a direct result of the industry gross profit decline, slowing growth. LED Engineering Research Institute (GLII) is expected in 2012, product gross margin levels in the main channel of the LED display manufacturers has fallen to 10% -15% of the Channel only product gross margin remained at around 20%.

    
Insiders said that now the LED display buyers, first put their own requirements, select chip, IC, power supply manufacturers, and then directly ask prices. Domestic or even specifically for non-technical small factories provide the box, the power assembly parts company, the display can be assembled simply purchase the company. Therefore, they do not scale manufacturers, nor manufacturers of technology, only the price be "no minimum only lower" in order to win some market share. The result is that even low-margin assets of billions of dollars of LED display manufacturers have also closed down, Jun Li, Bo Lunte, Vision Optical, sac billion light technology to the industry sounded the alarm.

 
Today, when we walk through the major exhibition of LED display booth, giving us the feeling is still the homogenization of products and low-cost business to attract advertising. Taiwan accumulation (TW.3527) General Manager ChenQiKai has said that after so many years of development, the domestic LED display refresh rate and still choose the expense of gray to enhance the brightness of the LED display, truly high refresh rate, high ash order, efficient enterprise rare. For the price, even the basic properties of these LED display can be sacrificed, let alone innovated.

    
View this years LED display list of patents listed companies, mostly in their patent waterproof, box stitching, high-definition, high gray scale, high-efficiency, improved appearance, etc., Has not groundbreaking innovation. The ultimate aim is only to these so-called "innovation" high subsidies in exchange for the government, while increasing the share price. Even manufacturers of LED display products, many are copying American Buck cabinet appearance patented technology.

    
In order to alleviate domestic manufacturers do not focus on innovation and R & D, Maori continue to decline, eventually unable to sustainable development, national, industry issued a series of subsidy policies, hoping to apportion part of the research and development costs while improving the international competitiveness of products. But the "innovation"

    
For LED display enterprises have a "chronic" problem. This not only has an existing subjective science and technology constraints, but also R & D funding, research and development time, as well as R & D results into other objective constraints.

    
"LED display has entered a state of low-level marketing, along with the stability of 3528, in-line products such as getting high, the industry has entered a bottleneck PK state." Chau Ming Technology (SZ.300232) LED display market Wu Meng director, said there are very few companies more in-depth research. Manufacturers Shangqie plagiarism, plagiarism small plant manufacturers also commonplace.

  
Now we are talking about the protection of intellectual property, but it is actually very difficult to really protect. As long as the technology can be seen, can be obtained through the basic anatomy. "LED display cabinet, that is, we can see that part is very easy to copy, and the only bad thing is the copy control system. "
led high bay light price, a listed company, said Chief Engineer.

    
"A lot of technology is difficult to apply for a patent, can apply for most of the appearance, technology, as long as the plagiarist changes a little bit, then you can not think I violated your patent." The industry said, Take the LED rental screen appearance, the same are the die-cast aluminum case, just change the size, even if it is 1cm, identified in the legal aspects of tort is difficult.
