Acquisition of patents and obtaining of licenses (packaging materials)

By analyzing the client's overall patent layout, we proactively noticed that foreign manufacturers hold a number of patents that are highly compatible with the client's needs. After detailed communication on the use of patents and future development, the two parties reached an agreement. Our client purchased a portion of patents that were not used by Japanese manufacturers and obtained authorization for another portion of the technology. Ultimately, our client gained a more favorable bargaining chip in the global market competition.

Our client operates in the semiconductor packaging industry, and based on their specific needs, we conducted an in-depth analysis of relevant technologies and patents. Eventually, we identified a leading Japanese materials company that owned a portfolio of patents highly relevant to our client’s requirements, leading us to initiate negotiations with them.

Since the Japanese company was still actively developing and utilizing some of these patents, we engaged in detailed discussions regarding patent usage and future development plans. Ultimately, both parties reached an agreement: our client purchased a portion of the unused patents from the Japanese company while also acquiring licenses for another portion of the technology.

Strategic Advantages of This Patent Transaction

By securing these patents, our client has gained a stronger competitive edge in the global market, enhancing their bargaining power with both customers and competitors while reinforcing their technological position and market advantage.
