Lighting manufacturer Osram and LED manufacturer Dominant have settled their patent dispute. Additionally Osram licensed certain patents to Dominant. The parties agreed to keep the details of the settlement confidential.
Osram reports that it has settled its latest patent dispute with Maylaysian LED manufacturer Dominant Semiconductor. The two companies agreed to keep the details of the settlement confidential. Osram and Dominant appear to be unusually tight-lipped about even which patents were disputed. Although Osram acknowledged that as part of the settlement, it licensed certain patents to Dominant. The agreement reportedly covers patents in the field of opto-electronic semiconductor components.
The two companies have had ongoing patent disputes going back to at least 2006 when the United States International Trade Commission banned the importation of certain Dominant Semiconductor products into the United States due to patent violations. In the past, disputes between the two companies have involved Osram’s patents related to light conversion (phosphor) technology in white LEDs. It is not clear if these patents were related to the current settlement.
