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

The Future of LFP Batteries From a Patent Landscape Perspective
LFP (lithium iron phosphate) has become a key battery technology in the market, competing with NCM. Being both cheaper than NCM batteries, while also offering superior safety characteristics, they have attracted great interest. China’s leadership in LFP has caused many battery players previously focused on NCM to enter the LFP market as well. While LFP batteries also have some disadvantages compared to NCM, such as lower energy density, poor charging performance at low temperatures, and recycling difficulties, many new technologies are being introduced to solve these problems. This talk will review the future of LFP batteries using patent analysis techniques to understand technological development in this area.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Why LFP batteries are attracting attention
• Why Chinese players dominate the LFP battery market
• Challenges presented by LFP batteries and potential solutions
• Can Korean and US companies become leaders in LFP technology?Presenters
