Everlight wins patent infringement lawsuit filed by Nichia in Taiwan

Taiwan's Supreme Administrative Court, regarding Japan-based Nichia's accusations that Taiwan-based LED packaging company Everlight Electronics infringed upon its Patent Nos.089 and 036, has determined the two patents are invalid, meaning Everlight has finally won the lawsuit in Taiwan. Nichia filed charges against Everlight for patent infringement in 2006, and Everlight was once ordered to pay compensation of NT$80 million (US$2.5 million) for infringement of Nichia patents.
