GMG''s partner, UniQuest Pty Limited (“UniQuest”), has filed a global patent application for the G+AI Battery under the Patent Corporation Treaty (“PCT”) following an initial filing on November 25, 2020. GMG is developing G+AI Battery technology with the University of Queensland (or “UQ”) and has entered into a licence
Patent examiners review patent applications, and Patent Trial and Appeal Board judges review appeals from patent examiner decisions, and also resolve disputes over issued patents. The USPTO publishes granted patents on their issue date and publishes most patent applications on or after 18 months from the filing date of your application.
Tesla is working hard on a dry battery electrode manufacturing process, but the progress is slow to materialize. Nevertheless, a series of patents filed with the USPTO hint at a breakthrough in
As one of the earliest countries to develop Li-ion battery technology, the USA has original patents of Li-ion batteries for cell and module. The core patent (WO9740541-A1), applied for by the Goodenough team in 1997, has been cited 436 times, becoming the highest cited patent worldwide.
In today''s technological age, patents are more important than ever. The rapid integration of software, Artificial Intelligence, and robotics, particularly considering the recent global pandemic and a new “decentralized” work environment, has led to a surge in worker productivity and a continued technology boom.The advancements in technology have resulted
Recently, CATL (Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Ltd.) announced an international patent application for "Sodium-ion Battery Electrolyte, Secondary Battery, Battery Module, Battery Pack, and Electric Device."

Patents can be very valuable, both in terms of the rights they afford you and their monetary worth. Typically, the filing of a patent application is the culmination of months or even years of R&D time and cost. A granted patent is an essential tool for capitalising on this significant effort and expenditure.
In this analysis step, we applied text mining technique to extract nouns describing the application fields of battery technology. Patent data from the DII database are well suited for such an analysis, as their abstracts have a unique structure, divided into subparagraphs marked by “novelty”, “advantage”, “use” and “detailed
