U.S. Court Rules in Favor of Everlight over Patent Lawsuit

The United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan ruled in favor of Everlight today (September 13th) over patent infringement lawsuits filed against Nichia Corp regarding U.S. patent no. 6,653,215 LED metallization technology. Everlight also demands the courts declare Nichia patent nos. 5,998,925 and 7,531,960 void.

A Mackman hearing was held last month in which patents from both parties were meticulously compared side-by-side for similarities. The case was ruled in Everlight’s favor.

The legal actions taken by Taiwanese LED packaging manufacturer against Nichia Corp is part of the company’s ongoing effort to enfore its intellectual property rights as well as safeguard its customers from litigation attacks by Nichia. The two companies are both major players in the LED manufacturing industry.
