The core Spectros white LED patent will reissue next year

In a reexamination of U.S. Patent No. 6,711,426, the Patent Office has affirmed that Spectros' use of White LEDs in medical spectroscopy is unique and protectable, and that certain other applications in biomedical and industrial spectroscopy devices also fall under this Spectros patent. The core Spectros white LED patent will reissue next year.

According to CEO David Benaron, "This is a broad affirmation of our dominant I.P. in the white led high bay light and broadband spectroscopy area. This will serve as the basis for our expansion into lab-on-chip devices, color sensors, spectrometers, fluorimeters, and white LED pulse and tissue oximeters."

It’s said that Spectros aggressively defends its technologies and products against infringement, including litigation filed against Thermo Fisher Scientific for alleged infringement in 2009.

Since MOCVD subsidy policy was primarily implemented by the Yangzhou Municipal Government, several other local Chinese governments followed suit and a rush of investment in LED Epi wafer plants occurred in China. However, when will the rush of MOCVD fiscal subsidy policy end LED Linear high bay light was honored to have an opportunity to visit the Director of Yangzhou Merchants Bureau, Mr. Sun, Xiao-Jun. Mr. Sun indicated that it is impossible to offer this fiscal subsidy indefinitely, and subsidy policy of Yangzhou will end in July 2011. Furthermore, most local governments in China are considering whether they will follow suit.
