Focusing on the patent dispute over micro LED display, Lehman Optoelectronics, an A-share LED display company, launched a patent lawsuit against MTC at the end of 2023. Recently, the two sides issued statements to each other, each insisting on its own words, and the patent war officially began!
According to Lehman Optoelectronics, in December 2023, the company has launched a patent infringement lawsuit against a number of companies under MTC in the Shenzhen Intermediate People's Court, and MTC has obtained 2 cases against Lehman in China and overseas without authorizationNew display patentsThe infringement was committed, mainly in relation to the virtual pixel display of the CMC COB product series, which infringed the patent rights of Lehman Optoelectronics' "pixel engine" display technology.
MTC denied infringement
At 11 a.m. on March 6, the official Weibo of MTC issued a solemn statement, pointing out that the recent ** published articles entitled "Lehman Optoelectronics sues MTC for micro LED display patents", which mentioned that MTC has infringed on two new display patents obtained by Lehman Optoelectronics in China and overseas without authorization. In response to the above reports, MTC said in a statement that the company has always respected the intellectual property rights and legitimate rights and interests of others, strictly abided by national laws and regulations, and resolutely opposed any form of infringement. In response to the above cases, the company will entrust a professional law firm to actively respond and take all necessary measures to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the company. If the Company receives relevant legal documents in the future, the Company will actively respond to and fulfill its information disclosure obligations in a timely manner in accordance with the provisions of relevant laws and regulations.
Subsequently, Lehman Optoelectronics' official Weibo issued an article at 13:54 on March 6, introducing the details of the micro LED display patent to the suspected infringing company Zhaochi shares.
Lehman OptoelectronicsPatent detailsIt is reported that in 2020, Lehman Optoelectronics took the lead in the industry to release the "pixel engine" display technology based on COB display technology and applied for relevant patents, and carried out a series of subversive innovations in pixel layout and AI algorithms, which solved the contradiction between reducing costs and improving display resolution of Micro LED display products.
Lehman Optoelectronics invests a lot of manpower and material resources in the development of LED display technology every year, and has a wide patent layout for LED-related products"Pixel Engine"The display technology patent is a COB panel-based display technology that is able to reduce the cost of Micro LEDsIt has been granted patents in many overseas countries, including China, Australia, Japan, and CanadaMore than 460 patents have been issued and are pending. This technology is not only regarded as an important intangible asset and technical barrier of Lehman Optoelectronics, but also involves legal measures against infringing products to protect its legitimate rights and interests.
Lehman Optoelectronics has reserved a number of patented technologies for pixel layout and pixel structure, forming a huge patent poolThese patented technologies are the key technologies for Lehman micro LED ultra-high-definition display products to reduce pixel pitch, increase resolution and reduce costs, and play an important role in solving the common problems of micro LED ultra-high-definition display products in the industry, such as high cost, difficult mass production and low yield. It is reported that the "pixel engine" belongs to virtual pixel technology, which can greatly reduce the production cost of LED displays. As the COB market becomes increasingly fierce, related technologies in this field are bound to cause disputes. On the one hand, Lehman Optoelectronics has a patented technology layout and holds a patent pool, and on the other hand, MTC is the manufacturer with the largest COB production capacity of direct display. The patent war between the two sides has officially begun, and it will be interesting to see what the result will be!
Behind the patent war is not only the competition for innovative technology, but also the market war and business war. To some extent, patent warfare is a means of competing for technology and market competition. Enterprises must improve their awareness of patent layout, do a good job in patent early warning and defense mechanisms, and effectively respond to patent disputes
