    IP Challenges for Foreign Battery Makers in China – Latest Industrial and Legal Trends

    China is a key market and a serious player in the lithium battery business, especially for EV and other industrial uses. The Chinese government has enacted policies favoring domestic business, while foreign battery makers are left to their means when navigating a very different legal environment. This creates unique challenges for U.S. and European battery makers trying to enter the Chinese battery market. Securing their IP, protecting their supply chain from illegal infiltrations by counterfeiters, preventing and fighting back IP theft, stopping and deterring infringers and counterfeiters are some of these challenges which they cannot avoid when doing business with China. In this webinar we will provide an overview of these challenges, the risk they pose to the business models and strategies of the foreign right holders for overcoming these challenges. We will also provide useful advise and tips for procuring and protecting IP rights in China.

    This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

    • Challenges in the battery business in China from the IP perspective
    • R&D, patent filing strategies and trade secrets
    • Securing supply chain
    • IP theft
    • IP infringement

    Solving Dielectric and Thermal Challenges in EV Batteries with Adhesive Tapes

    The use of electric vehicles in North America is on the rise, and the need for comprehensive safety measures for their batteries is essential. This talk will explore dielectric and thermal protection with pressure sensitive adhesive tapes as a key component of electric vehicle battery safety. We will discuss the benefits of such tapes, their basic composition, and how they can reduce the risk of failure due to electrical or thermal overloads. In addition, we will investigate how these tapes can be combined with other materials like aerogel, thermal ceramics, mica, foam, and more. Finally, we will consider some of the potential challenges and solutions associated with implementing pressure sensitive adhesive tapes in electric vehicle battery safety.

    This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

    • Understanding the challenges of dielectric and thermal protection in E-mobility
    • Learning how to address those challenges with different materials
    • Flame retardant mounting and encapsulation tapes
    • Emergency Thermal Propagation Venting tape solution
    • Puncture, abrasion, and high voltage resistant tapes for robust electrical insulation

    Patenting Inventions Course 1/3: Patenting Energy Storage Inventions

    Electrochemical inventions are interdisciplinary. Intellectual property strategies for protecting chemical, electronic, and software inventions may not be helpful for protecting inventions at the interface of these disciplines. This talk will include strategies for protecting chemicals and materials used in batteries as well as new uses of battery technology. This talk will highlight the key issues to prioritize when building valuable intellectual property portfolios for energy storage applications.

    This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

    • Uniqueness of Electrochemical Inventions
    • Patent Challenges, Opportunities, and Best Practices
    • When and Where to File Energy Storage Patents
    • Patent Valuation
    • Industry Patent Trends
