Hello,

I am not sure what you are asking exactly - whether you want to propose we should patent something?

TI generally does not use external help for deciding which IP to file.

Thanks

Hi Sumeet

Thanks for uour reply

I have an idea and I hope it is useful to your company. It was protected by filing the patent application. Can I contact with somebody from your IP department or with experts in LED drivers to consider my idea?

Thanks

Hi Oleksij

Thanks. Not sure what you mean by "it was protected by filing the patent application". You have already filed something using a TI device in your application?

As I said, TI does not generally consider this type of request. Sorry for that.

Hello Oleksij,

We cannot help out on this one. There are internal processes for IP filing and IC design decisions which we follow.

Thanks. I will close this topic now.
