Caution – You Might NOT Have Freedom to Infringe Expired Patents!
A patent term is generally limited to twenty-years from its filing date. Since the battery industry is more than twenty-years mature, certain seminal battery patents covering active materials, electrolytes, and separators are going offline. Does that mean anyone can practice what these patents claim? Or have the patent owners found ways to evergreen and extend their effective patent terms? This webinar will discuss freedom-to-operate in view of expired patents and the second-generation patents that followed.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Seminal battery patents that were filed more than twenty-years ago are going offline
• Does that mean you can infringe those patents with impunity?
• It depends on whether the patent owners have found means to extend their patent monopoly
• How can one evergreen a battery patent portfolio and what does that mean for competitors that want to practice expired patents?Presenter

Korean Battery Recycling Industry in IP Perspective
The explosive growth of the EV battery market means that a huge number of batteries will become unusable within the next 10 years. Tackling the challenge of recycling lithium-ion batteries is critical, both for environmental and economic reasons, and also for reorganizing the global supply chain to become more stable and sustainable. The government sector also is strongly pushing to promote effective battery recycling.
Patent trends in battery recycling technology are an important predictor of future market trends. Our internal patent landscape analysis suggests that Chinese companies currently have a huge lead in patents, but U.S. and European companies are rapidly shrinking the gap, while Korean companies are relative latecomers but are actively seeking to become major players as well.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Current status and forecast of Battery Recycling business
• IP landscape analysis in battery recycling field (focusing on Korean companies)Presenters
