The agreement involves the mutual licensing of patents for all inorganic and organic LEDs and system components. All Traxon fixtures include key components that are individually designed by Traxon/e:cue or Osram Group companies and, thus, are protected by the cross-license agreement.

Traxon can guarantee its customers to be safe of any license fees claimed by Royal Philips Electronics N.V. when using Traxon/e:cue fixtures for projects or selling to customers. The special right relates not only to patents held by Philips, but also to patents held by Color Kinetics and TIR Systems, which were acquired by Philips. In general, the advantages for Traxon’s customers include:

• Royalty-free license under all patents of the Philips SSL program within the field of architectural lighting, theatrical lighting, general lighting, display and video applications (except LCD)
• Full design freedom without patent restrictions
• No need for critical product checking in regard to patent infringements
• No-risk use of Traxon/e:cue/Osram/Philips LED systems and key components
• Avoidance of possible conflicts with Philips SSL Program

The cross-license program with Osram enables Traxon to better serve the demands of the solid-state lighting market, it says, strengthening its position as global LED system provider.
