Researcher: Expected to enhance the right to speak

The acquisition of a company with a negative net worth is inevitably incomprehensible. However, a brokerage researcher told reporters that Sanan Optoelectronics’ acquisition of US lumps was mainly directed at the other’s patents. The reporter noted that the data shows that there are currently 93 patents in the United States, and 58 patents are pending, totaling 151, of which 94 are US patents that have been and are being applied for.

These patents cover all aspects of LED product design, manufacturing solutions, packaging, systems and applications. At present, U.S. Lumen and Nichia Chemical, Seoul Semiconductor, and Taiwan’s Jingyuan Optoelectronics have cooperation in technology patents. The core technologies owned and licensed by US lumens include technology patents exclusively used by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the University of California, Berkeley (UCB) to authorize Lumens.

A brokerage researcher pointed out to the reporter that the company obtained the patent of the other party after the acquisition. Although the number of patents is less than that of the thousands of patents of international companies, it is at least a blank to avoid a blank. It is also possible to have some say in the negotiations with other companies.
