首爾半導體宣稱勝利?!會不會太早?
中文新聞稿:台灣先進開發控首爾半導體侵權敗訴
英文新聞稿:Seoul Semiconductor Wins Patent Case in Taiwan
從英文新聞稿中的說明,讓我了解到這只是智慧財產局判定的專利舉發不成立。要確認專利權存在還有兩關,經濟部訴願會,台北高等行政法院。沒有打完這兩樁訴訟,專利舉發是否底定仍是未知數。在台灣專利舉發通常是因為有民事侵權訴訟跟著在打(要到新竹地方法院確認一下),若是舉發真的不成立,看來先進開發應該還有另外一樁的民事訴訟官司。
但是接下來的各式訴訟,不是AOT單獨應戰,而是鴻海的專利與法務大軍,這個專利官司在韓國讓首爾半導體討到便宜,在台灣真要惹到鴻海,勝利還是不要宣稱的太早。
不過從這則新聞以及之前的AOT相關報導來綜合判斷,原先AOT供應LED給韓國的手機客戶,被首爾告倒了以後,營運陷入困境,接下來才讓郭董有撿便宜的機會!不過我猜郭董提供的後援應該會讓AOT高枕無憂才是。

看來台灣的官司 也是凶多吉少

Seoul has licensed its white LED patent to Itswell, and has been successful in a lawsuit filed against it by AOT.
LED manufacturer Seoul Semiconductor has won a patent invalidation lawsuit filed by Taiwan-based AOT in the Korean Supreme Court on 14th of last month.
郭董低頭了。看來LED NB/Monitor 背光模組今年起飛確定。

AOT said both sides held several rounds of talks during which Nichia realized that AOT had no "malicious intentions" in infringing its patent and agreed to withdraw the lawsuit.
Nichia announced in November 2005 that it had filed a provisional injunction with a Taiwan district court against AOT for allegedly infringing its design patent concerning SMD LEDs.
Nichia said the LED corresponding to this design patent was mainly used in the backlights for handset-use LCD displays.
