After Osram claimed Samsung and LG infringed its patents on white and surface mountable LEDs,the two South Korea companies have taken actions to fight for their rights.
Samsung LED countersued in June, filing a patent infringement lawsuit against Osram Korea and two Korean sales agents of the German company at a Seoul district court.
LG joined Samsung LED to countersue Osram. It’s reported that LG Electronics had filed a complaint with the South Korean trade commission to ban imports of LED products from Osram.
According to LG, it had filed the complaint along with its component unit LG Innotek and planned to take similar actions in other major markets including China and the United States.
