Osram publicly admitted that the intellectual property case with Shanghai Hongyuan Lighting Electric Appliance Co., Ltd. about its patent of ECTRON electrodeless lamp was completely lost, and it was lost to its strongest rival in the field of electrodeless lamp: Shanghai Hongyuan Lighting.
The patent dispute lasted for more than three years. Shanghai Hongyuan Lighting has gone through a long journey from Shanghai No.2 Intermediate People's Court-China National Intellectual Property Administration-Beijing No.1 Intermediate People's Court-China National Intellectual Property Administration, and finally obtained Hongyuan's own unique patent protection.
On March 2, 2009, according to the final result, OSRAM officially withdrew the notice of Shanghai Hongyuan patent infringement case from its website.
This means that the global distributors of Shanghai Hongyuan LVD electrodeless lamp lighting system can let go of their hands and feet, put aside their concerns, rest assured to put into the market and legally sell LVD products.
Shanghai Hongyuan Lighting successfully won the case with its international leading technical strength, leading intellectual property protection concept and advanced intellectual property development strategy.
At the same time, Hongyuan's first-class intellectual property patent team, under the personal leadership of the company's chairman, Mr. Li Wei, will continue to apply for, protect and develop the LVD electrodeless lamp patent. Improve and continue to expand the level of more than 100 patent achievements.
At the same time, we will carry out a series of clean-up and rectification of all acts that infringe on LVD-like products in China and cause serious harm to the development of Hongyuan lighting.
