At the just-concluded 2012 Zhuhai International Consumables Show, the hot spot in the entire exhibition area was patent gears. At the scene, the author saw a lot of companies. These companies have given their own R&D gears to fight Canon’s patents. Similarly, the author learned that Tianwei had more than 1,200 patents in the field of printing at the scene of the Tianwei Cup awards ceremony. We have reason to believe that all general-purpose or compatible consumables companies are very troubled by the patent issue. This kind of headache is not just a gear for today, but there can be more patents for components in the future. Patented gears are a hot spot for consumables exhibitions. Patents are a nightmare for general consumables companies. They review the history of Chinese companies accepting patent sanctions. In January 2002, thousands of DVDs exported from Guangdong to Europe were detained by British Customs, followed by Hitachi and Matsushita. The 6C organization issued an ultimatum to China’s 100 DVD-producing companies, which ultimately forced these companies to pay US$4.5 million in royalties to each DVD. China's DVD machine itself has only $60 or $70, which has resulted in a profit of only 5 yuan for each DVD machine manufacturer in China. This incident was the first time that a Chinese company’s products had been litigated overseas. However, this has opened a Pandora's box, a patent that has become a lingering shadow of China's manufacturing industry. Not far from Zhuhai, the world's capital of consumables, Huadu, once famous for its DVD production, has now become a city of LEDs and has gathered a large number of LED lighting equipment manufacturers. LED is also one of the industries where the patent base is relatively weak. The core technology patents for LEDs are, for the time being, firmly controlled by the cross licenses of Philips, Osram, Nichia, Toyota Synthetics and Cree. Chinese companies also ate quite a few patent lawsuits, all of which were reconciliation claims. However, China's LED industry is quite united. These LED companies and the top five companies take the same pattern, that is, mutual authorization of patents, Chinese companies do not have patents for light-emitting technology, but there are many patents in the field of product manufacturing. This type of cross-licensing formed a patent pool that was used to jointly combat the patent risk of the top five vendors. Zhuhai's consumables companies can form a patent pool to form a joint force on patents to jointly counter patent risks from international giants. On the other hand, China's general consumables companies can also consult with relevant international trade organizations and courts, because the original company does not have the power to organize the production of compatible consumables, but what can and can't be done? Currently, there is still no clear legal boundary. It is also one of the choices for Chinese consumables companies to circumvent the related litigation risks through clear terms of reference. Most importantly, as a mature industry with a large scale, Zhuhai can fully lead the government or industry leaders to jointly fund the establishment of a specialized research institute for printing technology and accelerate the localization of printing-related products. And build a more solid domestic related patent barriers. The essence of doing business is to profit and repay the society within the scope permitted by law. As a printing consumables company, China's general consumables enterprises form a patent pool against patent risks of large companies, obviously saving more of their own funds and avoiding repeated applications for similar patents. Practices are more conducive to the development of the industry and are more conducive to making this industry bigger and stronger.
