Status of the Battery Patents: 2017 Patenting Activity – 30,400 New Patent Families, 30,900+ Patents Granted & 6,400+ Patents Expired – ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The "Status
of the Battery Patents 2017 Patenting Activity" report has been
added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

In 2017, more than 30,400 new patent families were published, 30,900+
patents were granted, and 6,400+ patents expired. In such fast-growing
and dynamic battery market, it is essential to track patents in order to
anticipate changes, quickly detect business opportunities, and identify
emerging research areas and cutting-edge technology developments. In
this report, we reveal the main 2017 trends for battery-related
intellectual property (IP).

We show an overview of the recent patenting activity (new patent
applications, granted patents, expired patents), the main patent
applicants, the major patent litigations, and the hot technological
topics of the year, for each supply chain segment (electrolyte,
separator, electrode, cell, pack/system) and each battery technology
(Li-ion, Ni-MH, redox flow, Li-Air, LiS, Na-ion and Mg-ion batteries).
The report includes a special focus on the most interesting patents of
the year.

This report details the two ways envisioned by R&D players to meet
market performances expectations: improve existing battery technologies
and develop new battery technologies. Nowadays, lead-acid batteries and
Li-ion Batteries are leading battery market. Li-ion battery is a mature
technology but its performances can still be improved and its costs
reduced, leading to a thriving IP activity.

Other technologies are commercialized for automotive and consumer
applications (Ni-MH battery), stationary applications (Redox flow,
aqueous Na-ion and Na-S batteries) and medical devices (Zn-air
batteries). Within last years, new battery technologies have been
developed (organic Na-ion, Li-S, Li-Air, Mg-ion and Al-ion batteries)
and could be commercialized within next 20 years. Patenting activity on
all these technologies is detailed in the report.

Useful Patent Database (>40,900 Patent Families)

The report also includes an Excel database containing >40,900 patent
families of the main patent assignees and related to the key battery
technologies. This useful patent database allows multi-criteria
searches, including patent numbers, priority/publication dates, patent
assignees, titles, abstracts, claims, legal status of patents,
hyperlinks to original documents, and technical segmentation (electrode,
electrolyte, separator, battery cell, battery pack/system, Li-ion,
Ni-MH, Redox flow, Lead, Li-Air, Li-S, Na-ion, Mg-ion, solid-state).

2018 Battery Patent Watch Service: Get Updated Data On Battery
Patent Activity

With the booming number of companies involved in battery IP and the
proliferation of battery technologies, take advantage of quarterly
updated Excel file including the patents newly published, granted or
expired during the past 3 months, plus the latest patent transfers and
noteworthy news on patent litigation.

The patents will be categorized by supply chain segments (electrode,
electrolyte, separator, battery cell, battery pack/system) and battery
technologies (Li-ion, Ni-MH, Redox flow, Lead, Li Air, Li-S, Na-ion,
Mg-ion, solid-state, thin film/flexible, lithium metal electrode, NMC
cathode for Lithium battery, Silicon anode for Lithium battery). This
useful patent database allows for multi-criteria searches (patent
numbers, priority dates, patent assignees, titles, abstracts, claims,
legal status of patents, hyperlinks to original documents), and also
includes several charts highlighting the main IP trends of the past 3
months for each technical segment (patent applicants, etc.).
