OSRAM filed LED patent infringement lawsuit in the US

Recently, OSRAM announced that it has filed a patent lawsuit against the US LED lighting products manufacturer Lighting Science Group (LSG) and its subsidiary Heal the, Inc. in the US District Court for Delaware.

According to the news, OSRAM advocates that LSG and its subsidiaries infringe on its eight patents (US Patent Nos. 6,848,819 7,045,956 7,227,191 7,642,734 7,957,146 7,994,519 9,241,392 and 9,698,282), and the patented technology covers LED lighting solutions, LED lighting systems and their components.

OSRAM has more than 2,000 patents in the US and has published more than 17,000 patents and applications worldwide. The patent portfolio covers high-tech semiconductor technologies such as LED and laser lighting to intelligent networked lighting solutions and architectural and urban systems.

Currently, OSRAM is defending itself in the US International Trade Commission ("ITC") and the Delaware District Court for alleged infringement of LSG's three patents. OSRAM is convinced that LSG's claims are unfounded and has submitted a multi-review request to the US Patent and Trademark Office to challenge the validity of the three LSG patents.
