Osram is currently in patent disputes with Samsung and LG for its LED patents. Osram Korea announced that it filed a patent suit against Samsung LED and LG Innotek. Osram alleges that both companies infringed on its white and surface-use LED-related patents and requested the court to order an injunction against such use in Korea. Osram also filed patent invalidity suits against Samsung LED and LG Innotek. Osram alleges that ¡°the patents that Samsung and LG used against Osram do not have any protectable aspects and must be invalidated.¡± This appears to widen the patent suits between Osram and Korean companies. The disputes started in June.
