Everlight Electronics Co., Ltd. Convicts for Stealing World-First Technology The Supreme Court of Korea has recently upheld a lower court ruling convicting Taiwan-based Everlight Electronics Co., Ltd. of violating the Act on Prevention and Protection of Industrial Technology for misappropriating Seoul Semiconductor Co., Ltd.'s patented LED technology. Everlight was indicted for bribing three former employees of Seoul Semiconductor to misappropriate core technologies developed over decades of R&D, including the world’s first No-wire second-generation LED technology and advanced UV LED technologies. The former employees who leaked the technologies were also sentenced to prison terms. Although Everlight initially appealed its first-trial conviction for trade secret infringement, the appellate court determined that Seoul Semiconductor’s technologies went beyond ordinary trade secrets and qualified as advanced national industrial technologies under Korea’s Industrial Technology Protection Act, adding further charges. Last week, the Supreme Court upheld the lower court’s ruling, making the conviction final. Industry experts view the Supreme Court’s ruling as a meaningful precedent that will foster research and development while advancing the quality of human life. The decision confirms that Korea’s criminal jurisdiction can be effectively applied to foreign companies, and that under the principle of dual liability, both individuals and corporations can be held accountable. This ruling serves as a strong warning to both domestic and overseas companies attempting to steal technology, either directly or indirectly. At the same time, it is expected to encourage fair competition and creative innovation. In addition to the technology theft litigation, Seoul Semiconductor has vigorously pursued Everlight’s patent infringements. Over the past seven years, the company has won all 16 patent lawsuits across five countries, securing court orders prohibiting sales and mandating the recall of infringing products. Seoul Semiconductor is closely tracking the enforcement of the rulings and making sure companies aren’t disregarding them to save costs. For the past 30 years, Seoul Semiconductor has dedicated itself to the research and development of optical semiconductors, amassing more than 18,000 patents—an unparalleled portfolio in the LED industry. These are not merely numbers; they include core technologies that define the second generation of the LED industry, such as the world’s first No-wire technology (essential for MicroLED display manufacturing) and the world’s first RGB 1-chip technology. Today, Seoul Semiconductor stands as the world’s No. 1 in LED backlight technology, No. 1 in UV LEDs, and No. 3 in the global LED industry overall, solidifying its position as a leading optical semiconductor company.
