In my view it does not amount to manufacture.

Sir,

If the insertion of the driver is essential for working/using of LED then it amounts to manufacture. From your question I presume that insertion of driver is essential for working/using the LED

AI Summary

Manufacture: inserting a driver into an LED qualifies as manufacture when the driver is essential for the LED's operation. Whether insertion of a driver into an LED constitutes manufacture depends on the driver's functional role: one view says it does not amount to manufacture, while the contrasting view states that if the driver is essential for the working or use of the LED, its insertion will constitute manufacture.
