Osram and Toyoda Gosei extend 2007 patent agreement
Osram Opto Semiconductors GmbH of Regensurg, Germany and Toyoda Gosei Co Ltd of Kiyosu, Aichi Prefecture, Japan have extended an agreement (from 2007) which allows the firms to use each other’s patents for specific technologies, including white LEDs, and lasers.
The initial agreement allowed the two firms more freedom to develop, manufacture and market new products without fear of unintentional violations of patents. By facilitating research at both companies, new developments in LED technology have been enabled, including an acceleration of research to improve the luminosity of LEDs, both firms say.
The new agreement extends the scope of the patents covered by the original 2007 agreement, to include patents filed after the execution of the original agreement.
