Battery Technology

Our patent attorneys and IP solicitors have extensive experience protecting and maximising the commercial value of battery-based technologies.

From a technical perspective, we understand the major elements of battery innovation, including lithium-ion accumulators, solid electrolytes, liquid electrolytes, charging and discharging systems, electrode active materials, portable devices, temperature controls, mountings, and motive systems.

We've worked on a range of complex projects, including:

• Hybrid battery fuel cell systems. We prepared patent applications for battery safety mechanisms, charging and discharging algorithms, and systems for controlling the draw of energy from hybrid power systems.
• High-voltage direct current (HVDC), line-commutated converter (LCC), and voltage-source converter (VSC) technologies. We advised on a range of onshore and offshore projects to bring power safely and efficiently into a battery storage site and onto the grid.
• Electronics for the delivery of direct current (DC) power. We supported semiconductor-focused projects aimed at improving efficiency and battery management capabilities.

But our support goes beyond technical.

Our specialists understand the needs and challenges that can arise at every stage. We'll begin by helping you identify the innovation you have or need and ensure nothing potentially valuable is overlooked.

We'll then work out how best to protect and manage your IP, based on what you want to achieve and how your business is structured. That might include drafting and filing patents, recommending alternative rights, protecting your brand, or putting agreements in place to manage relationships with partners, suppliers, or customers.
