At this year's Frankfurt exhibition, OSRAM at the 2.0 pavilion presented a digital and intelligent solution for lighting, including street lighting, building management, indoor positioning and automotive lighting, and how to create a healthy and comfortable light environment based on people.

In addition, according to the news, the chairman of Nichia Industrial Co., Ltd. Ogawa Yuyi and the CEO of OSRAM Opto Semiconductors GmbH, Aldo Kamper, met at the Frankfurt exhibition to express their willingness to expand and strengthen the cooperation between the two parties.

The two companies agreed to open interactive licensing negotiations on approximately 7,000 new global patent applications, including approximately 2,000 global patents from Nichia and OSRAM across automotive, general lighting, LCD backlighting, displays, pharmaceuticals and industry Applications, and optoelectronic products in all areas.

Through the cross-licensing of patents with Nichia, OSRAM will give full play to its technological achievements in the high-tech field, enabling consumers to obtain industry-leading IP protection and benefit from it. At the same time, it is also more conducive to the rapid development of the company in the high-tech field.
