Led Tube commercial applications since the beginning, has been through more than 40 years of market development, and since the beginning of the 20th century, 90s, Led Tube lighting technology and the market has maintained a high state of development, now Led Tube technology has been gradually maturing industry. Led Tube because the concept of green energy, and therefore Led Tube technology as the representative of the photonics technology, the 21st century is considered the most promising industrial technology.
70 years of the 20th century, China Led Tube materials and devices started, 80 years industry has formed the early 90s has been of considerable size, and then rapidly, but the production company focused on the downstream industry chain. In 2007, China Led Tube industry output is about 500 million; 2008, driven by Olympic Games in Beijing, China Led Tube industry output is about 700 million; 2009, even though by the global financial crisis, China's industrial output value of Led Tube also about 83 billion yuan. Thus Led Tube industry market growth rate, should be noted that the above statistics not China Taiwan region.
Sorted by country and region, the current leader in Japan and the U.S. technology is more, Germany, Korea, in some branches of Led Tube technology also has significant technical reserves; sorted by market share, Japan and China Taiwan region, in the two previous United States, followed by the EU and China. Led Tube patented technology in the international dominance of the major manufacturers including Nichia (Nichia), ToyodaGosei (Toyoda Gosei), CREE (Cree), PhilipsLumiLed Tubes (Philips lumens), Osram (Osram) and so on.
With the development of economic globalization, intellectual property is increasingly becoming the focus of international competition, intellectual property rights typically include patent, trademark and copyright, with regional, such as the United States only in the United States has the right to patent. Meanwhile, state and corporate intellectual property is an important strategic resource. June 5, 2008, China's "Outline of National Intellectual Property Strategy" formally promulgated and implemented, proposed as a national intellectual property strategy must be an important strategy, strengthen intellectual property rights.
Led Tube in the field of patent litigation one after another dog has his day; and Led Tube in the upper reaches of the patented technology industry, mainly concentrated in the hands of foreign companies, that is, foreign enterprises to master the patent strategy initiative.
In summary, Led Tube industry markets a wide range and a bright future; while China Led Tube core patented technology industry since had to face a severe lack of patent issues, patent barriers must be bypassed to avoid the trap of the patent in order to win the market and win development.
