Traxon Technologies/e:cue Joins OSRAM-Philips Cross License Program

(June 2009) posted on Wed Jun 10, 2009

Agreement involves the mutual licensing of patents for all inorganic and organic LEDs and system components

Traxon Technologies (NYC), an OSRAM company, is participating in a cross-license agreement concluded by OSRAM and Philips for LED-based technology used in luminaires. 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 Technologies 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 – such as retailers, installers, system integrators, distributors and end-users – 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
  • Riskless use of Traxon / e:cue / OSRAM/ Philips LED systems and key components
  • Avoidance of possible conflicts with Philips SSL Program

Traxon is a systems and solutions provider in the LED-based lighting industry, with major offices and certified integration specialists internationally. The company, via e:cue, its controls company, provides a full turnkey suite of DMX hardware and software solutions, programming and project management.
