Osram Win Patent Lawuit in Ningbo China

April 3, 2008
Osram Opto Semiconductors (Osram) has won a patent lawsuit against Ningbo Hongfei Electrical Appliance Co., Ltd (Hongfei) in China. Zhejiang Ningbo Intermediate People’s Court ordered Hongfei stop infringement and pay 150, 000 yuan in compensation.


As one of the largest LED manufacturers, in early August, 2007, Osram became aware of infringing DOT-it LED sold online by Hongfei. Thereafter, Osram lodged a lawsuit before Ningbo Intermediate People’s Court, requesting the defendant to stop infringement and pay 200,000 yuan in compensation. After receiving the Osram’s application of pre-litigation evidence preservation, the court seized a large number of infringing products in the defendant's domicile.
