Intellectual property is the foundation of industrial development and the source of corporate competitiveness. As LED lighting enters the golden period of development, the industry seems to be less calm in terms of intellectual property protection. Many industry companies talk about patents and change colors. Especially in the appearance of LED lighting, driven by high profits, imitation and low cost make it a hard-hit area for plagiarism, and many LED companies that focus on patent research are deeply affected. Plagiarism, not only my patent, but also The LED lighting industry has experienced rapid development in recent years. However, after the rapid development and growth, the symptoms of the subsequent weakness of the LED industry are becoming more and more obvious. Patent has become a bottleneck for the further development of LED enterprises. From the appearance of lighting to internal structure, many domestic LED companies lacking core competitiveness will imitate and plagiarize. Seen as the only way out, many companies that focus on patent research suffer. LED lighting products are known for their beauty, especially in home lighting products, all kinds of lighting are loved by many consumers. However, due to its low technical content, the appearance of the lighting allows many small factories to have the ability to easily imitate according to the design and the actual object. During the interview, some interviewees revealed that when they participated in a certain light show, they were stopped by the sales staff of a certain LED company, pointing to the big exhibition hall and said: "The lighting of this exhibition hall, which one you look at, we can make it for you. The price has a discount." This almost open plagiarism has become an industry problem, and has become the biggest bottleneck restricting the further development of domestic LED companies. Qihui Lighting is a LED lighting company located in Shenzhen. Although the scale is not very large, it is available from upstream design to downstream production. Wu Haojie is the founder of Qihui Lighting. He has been engaged in the LED industry for nearly 10 years. Some plagiarism in the industry is hateful but helpless. "This is already a chronic disease in the LED industry. Although any industry has plagiarism, the LED lights are too easy to plagiarize. There is no difficulty at all. A designer racks his brains to think. The new shape that comes out, any small factory with a little processing ability can be copied." Shenzhen is one of the most concentrated areas for LED companies in China. According to incomplete statistics, there are nearly 2,000 LED manufacturers in Shenzhen, with an output value of more than 150 billion yuan, accounting for about one-third of the country's total. "China's LED lighting industry is still in the stage of fierce competition. Although large-scale enterprises such as Opus and NVC Lighting have a large scale, their output value last year was only over 4 billion yuan, far from the status of the industry leader." Wu said that "In order to reduce production costs, companies often outsource many intermediate links to other companies, from the beginning of the mold production process to the polishing, electroplating, and factory delivery. Most of the plagiarism is in these. Produced in the link." Enterprises such as the scared bird are like spy warfare trading mode Wu Yujie told reporters that the plagiarism in the LED lighting industry has reached the point where everyone is at risk and their families are chilling. Take a well-known LED lighting manufacturer that he knows. When attending the light show, the company never puts its latest products in the exhibition hall, but puts products for two or three months or even six months ago. These products are not outdated, but they can be found in the market. When looking for customers, the business staff will conduct certain screenings, inquiries, and contact with you for a while before inviting you to their real exhibition hall. This kind of exhibition hall is very private. There are often a number of gates and several groups of people to watch. The real new model of this enterprise is displayed in it. This kind of new model is usually displayed once a quarter and is not allowed to take pictures. What puzzles the reporter is that this kind of thing that makes the outsiders seem very unbelievable, Wu Jiejie has become commonplace. He explained to the reporter: "Don't be surprised, everyone in the light show will not put a real new style, otherwise the light show will still be If it is not over, the imitation of the product can be seen in the market. Especially the lighting that has no technical content and wins entirely by the novel and unique appearance is impossible to release in advance." And this kind of spy-like transaction The model is already a true reflection of the status quo of domestic LED patent protection. Why is the plagiarism in the LED industry so serious? Wu Yujie's view is that because a large part of the domestic LED production line is a small workshop-like factory, such factories have a weak sense of patent protection. Large and medium-sized enterprises do not dare to risk the plagiarism of accused, and patent infringement has gradually become the “survival path†for small enterprises and small processing factories. “The kind of small processing plant is the most difficult to guard against,†Wu said, but there are also many plagiarism that are requested by customers. “I think it is necessary to establish an industry-wide patent website, preferably led by industry associations or officials, but unfortunately, it is not, or the influence is too small to be popular. At the same time, we can also build a whole The patent trading platform of the industry will use the patent license. For example, if the product development capability is strong, a patent protection period can be set. After this time, the patent is granted to everyone at a reasonable price. For a company with weak development ability, it is not necessary to sneak smuggling plagiarism; for the industry, it reduces the cost of independent research and development of small and medium-sized enterprises, and enterprises can cooperate with each other to better promote the development of the industry. "Wu Jiejie made his suggestion. Patent into competitive weapon protection to help "double creation" intellectual property rights Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, innovation-driven development has become one of the strategies that the state attaches great importance to. Although innovation is not just a technological innovation, there is no doubt that technological innovation is an important aspect, and the realization of technological innovation is the key to the protection of technological patents. Intellectual property represented by patents has become a competitive weapon for high-tech enterprises. In the past few years, the semiconductor lighting industry has gradually got rid of the hat with low technology content. The first wave of technological innovation has been basically completed, and patents have become a powerful weapon for enterprises to open up markets and crack down on competitors. Bao Enzhong, secretary general of the Shenzhen Semiconductor Lighting Industry Promotion Association, said in an interview that as an industry association, he also often organizes supplementary activities, such as cooperation with some patent registration agencies or trademark registration agencies, and teaching in some association activities. Knowledge about corporate patent protection. At the same time, he said that they now have a national intellectual property Shenzhen trading center, located in the Nanshan District, LED companies can make patent-related acquisitions or authorizations in the trading center. Bao Enzhong believes that simply improving punishment is not an effective solution. The government's support for small and medium-sized enterprises lacking patent research strength and improving the research strength of small and medium-sized enterprises are effective measures to truly reduce the phenomenon of patent infringement in the industry. At the same time, promote industry self-discipline and reduce the industry's tolerance for plagiarism. "The majority of the technology patents in the LED industry are now in the hands of large enterprises. Therefore, the authorization of patents through patent cross-licensing or other means is the primary priority, but this is not secure. For enterprises, the core technology It is safest to master in your own hands, so obtaining patents through purchase is also an effective method. For example, NVC 500 million acquires international patents for new generation LED semiconductor technology, and Qinshang Optoelectronics participates in the acquisition of more than 600 LEDs related to Philips lumens. Technical patents, etc." As Secretary Bao said, it is the key for enterprises to improve their R&D capabilities. Only if they have patents can they have the refusal to plagiarize and let the company go fast and steady. 4 Cores Rubber Power Cable,Rubber Insulated Power Cable,Rubber Sheathed Power Cable,Electric Silicone Rubber Wire Ruitian Cable CO.,LTD. , https://www.hbruitiancable.com
