Everlight Fights a Countersuit Against Nichia

Recently,Everlight has taken an active action on fighting a lawsuit against Nichia in Tokyo District Court and said it will unfold the legal action by bringing the patent suits to other countries to counter Nichia’s repeated accusations that Everlight infringes on its patents.

In the lawsuit, Everlight asked the district court to stop Nichia from spreading the allegation and appealed for damage claims. Everlight has become the first Taiwanese LED maker to take legal action against Nichia over patent issue.

Everlight’s confidence comes from winning the case brought by Nichia each before Taiwan’s Supreme Administrative Court, Taiwan’s Supreme Court and Intellectual Property Court against it over a disputable patent coded No. 089,036 patent.

All these courts ruled that the patent is invalid and the intellectual property court even ruled that Taiwan’s Intellectual Property Office should revoke the patent certification it issued to Nichia.

Apart from complaining in the Japanese court, Everlight was releasing a news statement charging that Nichia is abusing lawsuits to interrupt fair competition on free market to its own advantage.
