On October 16, 2007, Banqiao District Court of Taiwan in China sued Nichia for its Everlight products (including three LED products, the production models are 99-215 UWC/TR8, 99-115 respectively). UWC/XXX/TR8 and 99-115 UTC/710/TR8) infringed on its new style patent case B (patent certificate No. 089036), and sentenced Yiguang Electronics to lose the first trial. Yiguang and its legal representative will jointly pay 80 million to Nichia. New Taiwan dollar ($2.5 million) damages. On April 25, 2006, Nichia sued Yiguang's three LED products for infringement of its patents and sought compensation. Now it has finally obtained a favorable ruling.
For this ruling, Nichia stated that it proved the legitimacy of Japan's exercise of patent rights and will continue to take appropriate measures to protect its intellectual property rights on a global scale. However, Yiguang firmly believes that its products have not caused infringement of Japanese patents. After receiving the judgment, Yiguang will immediately appeal to the Taiwan High Court. Since the three LED products related to the case of Yiguang had stopped production in 2006, the judgment results did not affect the business of Everlight Electronics.
Note: The patent in question is a new style patent related to LED products of mobile devices (such as mobile phone LCD panels).
