In fact, the "devil" has begun to "enter the village", which is no secret in the industry. For example, the international giant Philips has a total of more than a thousand patent applications in China, covering most of the technology branches of the LED lighting industry chain, while implementing the “Lamps and Light Source Licensing Program Agreement†in the world, trying to pass the “carrots and sticksâ€. "Policy, let a large number of midstream and downstream manufacturers and him tied up.
At the heart of the "Lamps and Light Source Licensing Program Agreement" is a "patent pool" of more than 1,200 Philips patents. Companies joining the program can obtain patented technology. Philips has initiated infringement lawsuits against companies that do not want to join the program or have horizontal competition on the product line. In short, for midstream and downstream manufacturers, either join this plan and pay Philips to pay arbitrarily; or wait for Philips' lawyer's letter and the next lawsuit.
In the face of "under the city", the first thing we have to do is to "reinforce the dead." Chinese enterprises should study the patents in the Philips Lighting Patent Licensing List and find out whether there is any infringement of their own product lines and list patents, and judge the patent stability. At the same time, it is important to understand that the Chinese patents of the Philips Lighting Patent Licensing List are not all valid. The average life cycle of Chinese patents is more than 10 years, and there is no possibility of invalidity.
Secondly, in view of the relatively scattered patents, Chinese enterprises should form a corporate alliance, build a “patent sharing platform†to form their own patent layout, and jointly respond to the lawsuit.
Finally, the most fundamental thing is to develop its own core patent reserves through research and development, as a possible bargaining chip in the later stage.è¶ Now that different technical routes are still developing, we are not without a chance to break through. In addition, the acquisition of patented technology by acquiring foreign companies like Xiamen Sanan Optoelectronics is also an idea. 
Despite the booming development of China's LED lighting industry, the lack of core patent technology may become the deadly "soft rib" of China's industrial development. At this point, the history of China's DVD industry being overwhelmed by the "patent big stick" was a precedent. There is no such thing as "real kungfu" and it is always subject to people. "Wolf is coming" is only a matter of time.
