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?

Approaches to Recovering Critical Materials From Spent Lithium-Ion Batteries
FREE Webinar – Li-Cycle is a proud sponsor of this event.
As the world transitions towards sustainability and low carbon emissions, lithium-ion batteries are being used across a broad spectrum of products and industries. The automotive industry, in particular, estimates 559 million of electric vehicles will be on the road by 2040. Consequently, lithium-ion battery waste is forecasted to hit over 11 million tonnes by 2030.
How can the world deal with this oncoming tsunami of lithium-ion batteries?
The audience will have the answer after this webinar as this presentation will walk through both global and future approaches to dealing with end-of-life batteries and explore the importance of recovering critical materials from lithium-ion batteries to meet future demand.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Global end-of-life lithium-ion battery market opportunity
• Recycling vs reuse
• Incumbent technologies for ‘recycling’ lithium-ion batteries
• New technologies and techniques for recycling lithium-ion batteries
• Comparative benefits of recycling technologiesPresenters

Lithium Ion Capacitors – Combining Energy with Power
FREE Webinar – JSR Micro, Inc. is a proud sponsor of this event.
Lithium Ion Capacitors (LIC) are hybrids of electric double-layer capacitors (EDLCs) and lithium ion batteries (LIB). Combining the reversible non-Faradaic cathode from an EDLC and the reversible Faradaic anode from an LIB results in an ultra or super capacitor with significantly increased energy density, improved float performance and low self-discharge rates. Avoiding the lithium metal oxide cathodes from LIB’s improves the inherent safety and eliminates Cobalt content, however still combines aspects of energy & power of both cell types. The Faradaic intercalation/deintercalation reactions at the anode are capable of generating a significant amount of charge, while the non-Faradaic electrostatic storage of the electrical energy formed at the interface of the electrode and the electrolyte, known as an electric double layer, results in fast charge and discharge capabilities for hundreds of thousands, if not millions of cycles.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• What is an LIC? Technology Introduction
• Key Benefits
• Safety
• EDLC vs LIC
• ApplicationsPresenter

The US 2020 Market for Electrified Vehicles: Forward, Backward, or Sideways?
FREE Webinar – PlugVolt is a proud sponsor of this event.
Sales of battery electrics and hybrids were up last year, while plug in hybrids dropped even as the number of entries increased. New products are coming in 2020 and beyond; will sales rise quickly enough to keep the market moving forward? Product, price, incentives, features, branding, and marketing all matter and will be discussed.
For the second year in a row, we expect Tesla’s US sales to decline, although each category (e.g., hybrids, plug ins, battery electrics) will increase with the strongest increase in…regular and mild hybrids.
Major changes in costs and technology, as well as the impact of suppliers in these areas, will be discussed, as well as expectations for the near-term.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Review of 2019 Sales with a 2020 Forecast
• How Regulation in the US and Beyond Is Moving the Market
• Regulation Matters, But Company Strategies Often Matter More
• Is There a Gap Between Strategy and Reality?
• The Role of Suppliers and TechnologyPresenter
