Neon-LED seeks to have China patent overruled
Neon-LED Electronic Lighting Factory, a Chinese LED lighting manufacturer, has filed a claim with the State Intellectual Property Office (SIPO) of P. R. China. Neon-LED has requested that patent ZL 200320130244.9, assigned to a rival manufacturer Neo-Neon, should be ruled as non-effective.
The claim comes after Neo-Neon filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Neon-LED and its factory director, Raymond Chen. According to Chen, a lawsuit filed in the US by iLight Technologies against Tivoli, a joint venture between Targetti North America and Neo-Neon, suggests that the ZL 200320130244.9 patent should be ruled non-effective (see iLight Technologies sues two rivals in LED patent cases).
