Philips patent litigation responsibility behind: China's led lighting industry from large to strong benign development still need integrity management

At present, China has become the world's largest led lighting production, application and export countries. According to the 2016 white paper on the development of China's semiconductor lighting industry, the total output value of China's semiconductor lighting industry exceeded 500 billion yuan for the first time in 2016, with the industrial scale reaching 521.6 billion yuan, up 22.8 % from the same period in 2015. In the " thirteenth five - year plan for the development of semiconductor lighting industry", the total output value of China's semiconductor lighting industry is expected to reach 1 trillion yuan by 2020. Thus, in the next few years, China's semiconductor lighting industry scale will continue to maintain growth. However, behind the rapid development, China's semiconductor lighting industry has also become a " mess" disaster area. Semiconductor lighting industry due to the relatively low capital, technical threshold, coupled with the support of national policies, many enterprises flocked to the market chaos disorder, all kinds of chaos like frequency, quality door, low price competition, triangular debt, contract disputes and other phenomena are also common. In addition to the lack of standards and industry standards, the cause of this mess is that enterprises have to operate in good faith, which is also the basic requirement for the healthy development of enterprises and even industries. The next case is a good illustration of the problem. Aft three years of litigation, that court will be held to account Things from Philips a lawsuit. In December 2014, Philips filed a lawsuit against guangtong bright company, Australian leilang company and tianxi TEPCO company respectively in Jing 'an court, mainly claiming the payment due to Philips company from the three companies after October 3, 2014. The case was further complicated by disputes among the three companies over the amounts in the signed letters of commitment for repayment and the fact that hotchpot existed between Huang Weiming and Australia, and the parties to the lawsuit had also devoted considerable effort to the presentation of the evidence. As of September 21, 2017, after nearly three years of litigation, comprehensive evidence provided by many parties, Jing 'an court finally ruled that rejected the day seal tepp company and other three companies on the grounds of appeal of the repayment commitment, day seal tepp company and other three companies appeal reason cannot be established, it shall jointly assume the responsibility of repayment to Philips. In addition, on the question of whether Huang Weiming needs to bear the debt joint and several, Jing 'an court in accordance with the provisions of article 63 of the company law, that the case is disputed debt occurred during the Australian leilang company as a one-person company, shareholders for Huang Weiming. The evidence provided by the company is not sufficient to prove that the property between the company and Huang Weiming is independent of each other, and Huang Weiming shall be jointly and severally liable for the debts of the company to Philips in accordance with the law. During the period of litigation costs are day seal TEPCO and other three companies and Huang Weiming jointly bear. Through this case, it is not difficult to find that the contract dispute for the enterprise caused by the loss is not only money, resulting in the cost of time and credibility will not be ignored, especially in China's semiconductor lighting industry from large to strong in the process of performance is particularly obvious. Enterprises to set up the credibility of word of mouth For the domestic semiconductor lighting industry in 2017, the acquisition of osram lighting business is undoubtedly the most noteworthy event. In March, Mr. lignson announced that bright core photoelectric, a subsidiary of harmonious bright core, a partnership invested by the company, held 100 per cent of led vance and successfully completed the overseas equity acquisition. The acquisition event also represents a new exploration of domestic semiconductor lighting enterprises to the international market. In recent years, in the face of the arrival of the semiconductor lighting market " meager profit era", coupled with the domestic market competition is becoming increasingly white - hot, domestic manufacturers have turned to the overseas market, leishi lighting, Opel lighting, sunshine lighting, Foshan lighting and other domestic lighting industry representative enterprises is to open the overseas market development trip early. In addition to the larger market space, to enter the overseas market requires enterprises to pay more attention to the company's brand and product image, especially in Europe and the United States and other developed countries. With the help of the 13th five - year plan for the development of semiconductor lighting industry, the scale of semiconductor lighting industry in China will be multiplied. in addition to the growth of independent market demand, more products will be exported to the global market, which is very important for the promotion of " made in China" brand. For lighting enterprises, in the face of more and more international trade demand, more need to put " good faith" in the first place, through continuous improvement of product quality and quality, establish a Chinese brand image, so as to get rid of the label of " low cost and low quality". Summary: As mentioned in the opening paragraph, with China's legal system construction is more and more perfect, " good faith" will become an important standard to test the operation of enterprises. Enterprises also need to adhere to the integrity of the bottom line, in case of disputes need to bear responsibility, only in this way can establish a positive image. It will be a rare opportunity for China's semiconductor lighting industry to go overseas. Enterprises in the " sea" process, the brand awareness is gradually improving, which will in turn promote the gradual improvement of domestic semiconductor lighting industry, promote the healthy development of the industry. " there is enough market in the world, can accommodate more lighting enterprises, integrity will determine how far enterprises can go in the future! " the
