    Solid-State Li-Ion Batteries – Key Technology Approaches & Time-to-Market

    Attendees will learn which solid-state batteries have been launched already into beachhead markets, and which technology barriers for now prevent deployment in mass EV applications. Risks & opportunities identified in IP portfolios by large battery & automotive manufacturers and key startups will be compared with go-to-market & technology readiness statements. Finally, we will explain why hybrid battery packs or cells based on both liquid and solid electrolytes could potentially accelerate the automotive adoption of solid-state batteries.

    This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

    • Solid-state Li-ion batteries
    • Key innovation approaches & global patent literature
    • Time-to-market with respect to key applications: electronics/IoT, medical implants, automotive/rolling stock, stationary energy storage
    • Examples of solid electrolyte, cathode & anode selection
    • Combination of solid electrolytes with liquid electrolytes at the pack or cell level

    Lithium-Ion Battery Patents – Understanding Infringement and Invalidity Through Recent Notable Litigation

    This presentation will discuss recent notable decisions in U.S. litigation of lithium-ion patents, and what those cases can teach us about infringement and invalidity issues in lithium-ion patents. The presentation will focus on the role played by weight/volume claim terms, the duty of disclosure and invention disclosure statements during prosecution, the importance of quantitative examples in lithium-ion patent specifications, and properly presenting prophetic and working examples.

    This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

    • Recent notable decisions in U.S. district court and U.S. Patent & Trademark Office (IPRs) litigation of lithium-ion patents
    • The infringement and invalidity of lithium-ion patent claims:
    – The critical role of weight/volume (quantitative) claim terms
    – How invention disclosure statements (IDS) can affect validity
    – The importance of examples in a lithium-ion patent specification
    – Properly presenting prophetic examples (predicted experimental results) as opposed to working examples (actual experimental results) in a lithium-ion patent

    Next-Generation Batteries in Korea – Key Players and Legal Issues

    Korean battery companies are among the world’s leaders in the field of lithium-ion batteries. However, whether these companies can maintain their leadership with next-generation batteries (such as solid state batteries) is currently unclear. We analyze the patent portfolios of the major Korean battery players to better understand what next-generation battery technologies they may be developing, and draw some conclusions regarding which players and technologies may be best placed to succeed. We also look at various legal and regulatory issues that are critical to understand when working with Korean companies and employees, particularly in view of new and proposed Korean regulations aimed at preventing leakage of cutting-edge battery technology to foreign companies.

    This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

    • Review of major Korean battery market players (Samsung SDI, LG Energy Solution, SK Innovations)
    • Analysis of solid state battery patents with focus on Korean players
    • Potential winners in the next-generation battery market
    • Legal issues in working with Korean battery companies or employees
