Can you read this?

toyoda-gosei.com

I can read only the number 2748818. However, based on the August 31 date of the press release (the date of the decision in Tokyo District Court) and the fact that this is also the number of one of Nichia's Japanese patents, I would guess that Nichia's infringement suit against Toyoda Gosei relied on this patent:

JP6338632 Gallium nitride compound semiconductor light-emitting element
l2.espacenet.com

{Equivalent: JP2748818B2}

Only the abstract is in English; drawings are viewable. Not much to go on. This patent has one of the earliest filing dates (May 31, 1993) of Nichia's GaN LED patents.

Or, maybe it's just a coincidence. <g>
