Seoul Semiconductor Korean Design Patents Declared Invalid in Nichia Dispute June 10, 2008... Nichia has won the latest IP dispute round with Seoul Semiconductor. Nichia announced that on May 22, 2008, the Korean Intellectual Property Tribunal (IPT) ruled that Seoul Semiconductor’s design registration (No. 364186) is invalid. The tribunal found that the registration was similar to the prior art design registration of Nichia Corporation (Design Publication; Similar Design Registration No. 294490-2). The IPT reportedly rendered the decision against Seoul Semiconductor in relation to the patent invalidation suit filed by Nichia on July 24, 2007. The two companies have butted heads over intellectual property rights around the world for several years. The ruling of the Korean Intellectual Property Tribunal ends only one chapter of the ongoing dispute. Nichia News Release See the Current Industry News Summary
