Edison Innovations licenses PFS/KSF phosphor patent portfolio to Shenzhen Jiakun Optoelectronics

Edison Innovations licensed its portfolio of Potassium Fluorosilicate (PFS/KSF) phosphor technology patents to Shenzhen Jiakun Optoelectronics Co., Ltd. under a royalty-bearing agreement covering 26 U.S. patents. The deal was announced by EIN Presswire on October 19, 2026. Jiakun manufactures LED components for mobile phones.

How the Jiakun License Works

Edison Innovations, a Dominion Harbor Enterprises (DHE) company, said the license extends to Jiakun's affiliates, Jiakun Optoelectronics (Jiangxi) Co., Ltd. and Jiakun Optoelectronics (Hubei) Co., Ltd. Jiakun will apply the PFS/KSF patents as it explores opportunities to expand beyond its established position in the mobile-phone market and enter additional LED and optoelectronics applications.

The agreement was jointly announced by Mr. Preston Morgan, Senior Vice President of Licensing of Dominion Harbor, and Mr. Chen Tianyu, Chairman of the Board of Jiakun. "We are pleased to partner with Jiakun, a respected and experienced LED manufacturer with significant technical and production capabilities," Morgan said. "This agreement creates an opportunity to bring Edison's patented technology to broader markets while supporting Jiakun's continued growth and diversification."

Chen said: "Jiakun has built a strong position serving the demanding mobile-phone LED market. Edison's patent portfolio provides an important foundation as we evaluate new applications and markets for our manufacturing and engineering capabilities. We look forward to developing the potential of this technology across Jiakun and our affiliated companies."

The portfolio was acquired by Dominion Harbor in 2025 from Dolby Laboratories, Inc., following Dolby's acquisition of GE Licensing. Since the acquisition, Edison has continued to build on the portfolio, filing new patent applications and working with industry partners to develop next-generation KSF applications.
