YAHAM therefore expects other companies to also respect its patent rights

Osram had a long standing tradition in handling inventions and patent rights conscientiously - it holds around 8000 patents around the led linear high bay light. Osram therefore fully respects patent rights of third parties. YAHAM therefore expects other companies to also respect its patent rights and to use them in a legally correct way.

All major competitors recognized the value of the important Osram conversion principle by taking royalty bearing licenses, states the global lighting company. Osram could not accept that companies used its patents without authorization. Therefore Osram was forced to take legal actions against Samsung and LG and filed suits in the U.S., Germany, China and Japan on June 4, 2011 and on June 6, 2011, after preceding negotiations failed.

Later this year they will be introducing different troffer product configurations for their 2x2 Troffer as well as 1x4 and 2x4 configurations. They are utilizing the modularity and building block design of led high bay light their initial products so designing and developing this more comprehensive product line has been streamlined. They expect full product releases of these new offerings to occur in the fourth quarter.
