High voltage cathode materials, dendrite-preventing electrolytes, and new anode architectures often grab headlines. But what may send shockwaves through the battery industry is the winner of the patent and trade secret battle being waged by SK Nexilis Co., Ltd. and Solus Advanced Materials Co., Ltd. The spoils of war being the right to make and sell copper foils used for current collectors in electric vehicle batteries. With parallel litigation occurring in the United States, South Korea, and Europe, and patent invalidation proceedings before the US Patent Office, this case is one to watch for battery manufacturers worldwide. This talk will highlight the procedural posture and the intellectual property tools being brought to bear by both sides in this on-going dispute.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Building patent thickets around single battery components
• Trade secret rights complementary to battery manufacturing patent rights
• Strategically acquiring foreign patent rights with high investment returns
• Value of patents given the increased institutional denial of proceedings to invalidate patents

Battery Qualification 101
FREE Webinar – Voltaiq is a proud sponsor of this event.
Batteries are the most complex and failure prone components in modern devices. To mitigate risks, companies extensively qualify battery cells and packs, a time consuming and expensive process that can lead to delays in product launch if issues are surfaced. Effectively managing time, personnel, and equipment is critical to meeting deadlines while also ensuring products meet safety and performance requirements.
In this webinar, we’ll provide an introduction to battery qualification and show interactive demonstrations of performance qualifications. We’ll also highlight best practices and value-added analytics to ensure that quality issues are surfaced soon as possible so that product release timelines are met.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Discuss the need to qualify batteries
• Discuss the different types of battery qualification
• Introduction to common performance qualifications — rate capability and cycle life among others
• Interactive analysis demonstration, first using traditional tools and then using a Battery Intelligence System
• Best practices to ensure product release timelines are metPresenter

BIS Tutorial Course 3/3: Battery Intelligence in New Product Introduction (NPI) for Transportation and Consumer Electronics
FREE Webinar – Voltaiq is a proud sponsor of this event.
OEMs are faced with an ever growing list of challenges when designing batteries into their systems, from long qualification time, to increasingly complex systems and the lack of qualified battery engineers.
In this webinar, we’ll review the battery and systems qualification process for transportation and consumer electronics, including specific reference performance tests such as hybrid pulse power characterization (HPPC), that are used for BMS development.
We’ll then shift into how Battery Intelligence Systems (BIS) can both accelerate time to market for New Product Introduction (NPI), and can surface deeper insights about variability in batteries and packs to increase range, lower costs, and improve reliability.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• The state of OEM new product introduction (NPI)
• Battery and system qualification
• BMS development and hybrid pulse power characterization (HPPC)
• Ensuring time to market for NPI
• Extending range and lifetime with component variability assessmentPresenter
