We are obliged to assure our customers that the products offered on the market are in line with customer expectations. High quality LED components. We are committed to protecting Cree's investment in research and development on behalf of our customers, shareholders and licensing partners."

“Cree is pleased with the outcome of the lawsuit to protect its intellectual property,†Dave Emerson said, and Cree will continue to work to protect consumers and suppliers from unauthorized LEDs in applications and markets. We look forward to working with Emson to provide quality products, including Cree's high quality LED chips and components.
