6 Frequently Asked Questions about “Foreign battery technology patents”

Are battery recycling technologies based on a global patent analysis?

Conclusions This study conducted a comprehensive global patent analysis on battery recycling technologies, focusing on secondary batteries across Korea, China, and the United States. The findings reveal significant differences in patent activities and technological focuses among these countries.

Why is battery patenting a global trend?

We find that global battery patenting activity grew significantly in the 2000–2019 period. This stylized fact means that the comparative advantages of secondary approaches (rechargeable, redeployable, reusable batteries) have been continuously on the rise driven by innovation, making a direct contribution to socio-technical circularity.

Where do battery patents come from?

The majority of battery patents are found to originate in Asia while high battery patent intensities are revealed in the performance of several Asian and European countries. Overall, a considerable increase in annual battery patenting activity is observed from 2000–2009 to 2010–2019.

Which countries have the best battery patents?

South Korea and China are particularly competitive in the arena of battery patents, with South Korean companies like LG Energy Solution and Samsung SDI leading in terms of both quantity and quality of patents, especially in areas such as electrode materials, cell processes, and packaging.

Do battery recycling patents exist in Korea and China?

As such, the market and technology for battery recycling in Korea, China, and the United States are fully expanding. However, it is not easy to find a paper that analyzes in-depth battery recycling patents in Korea, China, and the United States.

Which technologies grew in relevance to battery patenting?

We find that several battery-related technologies and applications, such as energy storage systems, battery management systems, wireless power transmission, electric vehicle charging, and uncrewed aerial vehicles (i.e., drones), grew in relevance both in absolute terms and relative to general battery patenting activity.
