SEOUL, Jul (Reuters) - Samsung LED Co., Ltd. has filed a complaint with the United States fair trade commission to ban imports of LED products from Siemens(SIEGn.DE) light bulb unit Osram and its affiliates Osram Opto Semiconductors and Osram Sylvania Inc., the Korean firm said on Sunday.
Samsung LED said in a statement that it had also filed a lawsuit for patent infringement with the U.S. District Court for Delaware "to seek damages and a permanent injunction barring Osram's infringement."
The complaint and the lawsuit were filed separately on Friday with the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) and the Delaware court, according to the statement.
Samsung LED alleged that Osram infringed eight patents on core LED technologies. The patented technologies are used in a wide range of products, including lighting, automobiles, projectors, cell phone screens and televisions.
The complaints filed by the Korean LED maker, affiliated with Samsung Electronics (0593q.L), target Osram's TopLED, Dragon, Oslon, Ceramos and Oslux devices and the products in which they are used.
Samsung warned in the statement that it would continue to take additional legal action against those who may import, use or deal with the accused Osram LEDs in the U.S. market.
"Samsung LED intends to vigorously enforce its intellectual property rights, and these lawsuits reflect Samsung LED's commitment to that enforcement," the statement said.
Samsung LED said it had applied for and registered about 4,000 patents, including 2,000 patents in Korea and 700 patents in the United States.
In June, Samsung LED countersued, filing a patent infringement lawsuit against Osram Korea and two Korean sales agents of the German company at a Seoul district court.
Another South Korean electronics giant, LG Electronics Inc., joined Samsung LED this month to countersue Osram, after the German firm filed lawsuits against the two Korean rivals in the United States, Germany and Japan and another against LG in China.
