About the subject

Li-ion batteries have emerged as the primary go-to solution for applications ranging from electric mobility to energy storage systems, consumer electronics, and medical devices. Recent market developments have revealed that European companies are underprepared to compete with the wave of Chinese and East Asian technical and industrial advancements. The challenges in developing or adapting the domestic industrial ecosystems and supply chains have resulted in an increasing influence of non-European players over the battery competitive landscape in this region.

In this context, intellectual property (IP) can play a critical role in industrial expansion and defense strategies, and every stakeholder should pay close attention to it. Patent landscape analysis is a powerful tool that complements market research, offering deeper knowledge and actionable insights. Understanding the European patent landscape for Li-ion battery related technologies is essential for effectively navigating the European market. Who holds Li-ion battery-related patents in Europe? How long have patent owners been securing their IP positions? How strong are their European patent portfolios and their IP positions within the competitive landscape? Which technologies are protected in the European market? This presentation aims to answer these questions, providing the audience with a comprehensive understanding of the competitive ecosystem in Europe and enabling informed decision making in R&D, investment, and partnerships.
