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.
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 new joint study published today by the European Patent Office (EPO) and the International Energy Agency.
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.
Hence, patent data is widely applied to analyze the development of battery technology [ 16 ]. For instance, the European Patent Office cooperating with the International Energy Agency provided key insights into technological innovation in batteries and electricity storage based on patent analysis [ 6 ].
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.
Based on the information available, the battery technology patent race is intensifying among South Korea, China, and the USA, with significant developments and strategic moves observed in each country .
