Seoul Viosys Co., a global ultraviolet (UV) light-emitting diode (LED) solution firm that is a subsidiary of South Korea`s LED manufacturer Seoul Semiconductor Co., announced on March 22 that it has filed a lawsuit with the Federal Court of State of Florida, U.S., against Salon Supply Store last weekend, accusing the U.S.-based UV LED product manufacturer has infringed its patents.

The patents of UV LED, which Seoul Viosys claims to have been infringed by Salon, consist of a wide-range of patents that are related to the UV LED manufacturing processes and applied fields, such as EPI that generates ultraviolet, FAB technology, and packaging technology of the components, as well as the curing (hardening) technology. Salon is known to have acquired a lot of profits by selling the products related to the infringement through the large online shops, such as Amazon or eBay.

Against the infringement, Seoul Viosys filed a letter of complaint for injunctive relief with the Federal Court of Florida, USA, on March 18, asking for the stop of the sale and distribution of the related products and the verification of patent infringements by Salon. Seoul Viosys has constructed the wide range of patent portfolio, ranging from the US LED components to the application system. It plans to actively exercise its patent rights from now on against the infringing companies to protect the company using its patented products.

Seoul Viosys is a UV LED and Blue LED chip manufacturer that was established and invested by the nation’s LED manufacturer Seoul Semiconductor and its employees. As of June 2015, the company’s assets reached 370 billion won (US$319.24 million) and it currently has 700 employees who produce and research and develop UV LED products.
