Energy storage vehicle patent

Which patent families are based on VTO-funded advanced batteries Research?

Many of the patent families in Table 6 are relatively new, and are examples of how VTO-funded advanced batteries research has helped form part of the foundation for recent advances made by leading companies. Samsung SDI has the two patent families at the head of this table (representative patents US #9,979,019 and US #9,368,791).

What is the influence of VTO-funded and other DOE-funded advanced batteries patents?

The influence of VTO-funded and Other DOE-funded advanced batteries patents can be seen primarily within advanced batteries technology, although the influence also extends to related technologies such as ultracapacitors, nanocomposites and electric vehicles.

How fast does patenting a battery grow?

Between 2005 and 2018, patenting activity in batteries and other electricity storage technologies grew at an average annual rate of 14% worldwide, four times faster than the average of all technology fields, according to a joint study published today by the European Patent Office (EPO) and the International Energy Agency (IEA).

How many advanced batteries patents are granted by Doe?

Following this review, and based on feedback from VTO, the initial list of advanced batteries patents funded by DOE contained a total of 723 granted U.S. patents. Defining VTO-funded vs. Other DOE-funded Advanced Batteries Patents As noted above, linking DOE-funded patents to individual offices is often a difficult task.

What are VTO-funded advanced batteries patents?

VTO-funded advanced batteries patents have a particular focus on different electrode materials, notably manganese, titanium and nickel/cobalt/iron, plus the use of lithium-ion batteries in transport applications. Recent years have also seen an increase in VTO-funded patenting related to silicon-based and metal/alloy electrodes.

How many advanced batteries patents are associated with VTO funding?

515 advanced batteries patents are confirmed to be associated with VTO funding (330 U.S. patents, 62 EPO patents, and 123 WIPO patents). We grouped these VTO-funded advanced batteries patents into 256 patent families.
