Epistar is pleased to announce that it has reached a settlement of its litigation with Lumileds.  The specific terms of the settlement agreement are confidential.  However, the settlement includes a license to Epistar under Lumileds' U.S. Patent Nos. 5,008,718,  5,164,798 and 5,233,204 and any other corresponding foreign patents or patent applications, and it avoids further litigation between Epistar and Lumileds. 

Epistar is a leading manufacturer of AlGaInP and nitride LEDs, and holds more than 50 patents relating to its products.  The settlement of this litigation will allow Epistar to focus on the continued expansion of its product lines and to further increase its sales. “Epistar will continue to develop new technologies for high brightness LEDs” said B.J. Lee, Epistar’s President. “We will also continue to create a strong intellectual property portfolio based on the technologies we develop.”
