PatSnap Publishes 2023 Annual Report on the State of IP in a Tech-Driven World

Leave a comment

LONDON, April 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — PatSnap, a leading provider of innovation intelligence solutions, has released its 2023 Annual Report on the State of IP, uncovering the future of IP in a technology-driven world. The report offers valuable insights into the IP strategies of companies across industries, highlighting critical factors that impact IP management.

The report was built from a comprehensive survey of over 800 companies involved in IP and R&D activities on a global scale. Among the survey respondents, 74% identified themselves as mature public or private companies, while 22% identified themselves as startups, early-stage, or expansion-stage ventures. The report encompasses a diverse range of industries, including Energy and Electrical, Chemicals and Materials, Semiconductors, Communications and Information Technology, Consumer Electronics, Automotive, Equipment, Life Science and Healthcare, as well as other sectors such as traditional manufacturing and services.

One of the key takeaways from the report is that a company’s IP department reporting structure plays a critical role in its IP strategy. It reveals that only a third of companies have their IP department report to the CEO or CTO. The report underscores the need for a well-structured IP department with a clear reporting line to ensure effective management of IP.

Although most companies believe patents will contribute significant value to their organization in the next two to three years, with protecting the outcome of R&D being the most significant value, IP and R&D teams face several challenges when it comes to working together. One of the major obstacles reported is the lack of patent knowledge possessed by R&D professionals, which can make collaboration difficult.

The report also discusses how technology companies manage their corporate patents, protection and monetization strategies, and overall patent management strategies. It examines the views of IP and R&D departments on patents as a source of tech intelligence, collaboration obstacles, and future expectations for IP.

Jeffrey Tiong, CEO of PatSnap, said, “This report provides critical insights into the challenges faced by companies in managing their intellectual property, particularly in today’s technology-driven world. By elevating the role of the IP department and implementing collaborative processes and tools, companies can streamline innovation and protect their business.”

PatSnap’s 2023 Annual Report on the State of IP offers crucial insights to IP and R&D professionals, enabling them to develop strategies to manage IP matters effectively within their organizations. With the emergence of AI-powered technology, companies can improve their ability to manage their intellectual property, gain insights into competitors’ technology, and make informed decisions about their R&D investments.

WiMi Hologram Obtains Patent for Holographic Real-Time Imaging System with Atomized Particle Sizes between 2μm to 4μm

Leave a comment

BEIJING, April 23, 2021 — WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc. (Nasdaq: WIMI) ("WiMi" or the "Company"), a leading Hologram Augmented Reality ("AR") Technology provider, today announced that it has obtained a patent (the "Patent") for its holographic real-time imaging system with atomized particle sizes between 2μm to 4μm. The Patent has demonstrated the ongoing progress of WiMi’s independent R&D efforts and enabled WiMi to further refine its IP protection system, fortify its technology leadership, and enhance its core competitiveness.

The holographic real-time imaging system (the "System") covered by the Patent has replaced the traditional dry plates with a spatial light modulator that is capable of achieving real-time optical production through the utilization of computer-generated digital holograms. Compared with traditional optical holography technology, the System has a series of advantages, such as a computer interface, user-friendly operations, and real-time displays.

The System also includes an input module, a carrier module, and a screen module. The input module is based on a computer-generated hologram. The carrier module is comprised of a laser, an expanded beam collimator lens, a polarizer, a spatial light modulator, a deflector, and a Fourier lens. The laser’s beam output passes through these components to project the object in the input module onto the screen module.

The System also creates a hologram database to store experimental and background holographic data. During the data collection process, the System deletes the original data from prior hologram experiments, obtains the droplet atomization data, and conducts grayscale processing for the droplet atomization data. After median filtering, data binarization, and the filling process, the System obtains and calibrates the graphically filled holographic data. The screen module comprises a holographic electrostatic atomizer, which produces atomization particles that are between 2μm and 4μm in size and have atomization volumes between 100ml/h and 150ml/h to form particle curtains that are between 3cm and 20cm in width. In addition, the System has adopted transmissive and electrically addressable spatial light modulation for its spatial light modulator.

The complexity of the non-uniform electric field along with the interconnection between the electric field and the flow field have resulted in increased difficulties throughout the holographic electrostatic atomization crushing process. Consequently, the System utilizes a dual-phase liquid holographic electrostatic atomization device to combine pressure atomization with holographic electrostatic atomization for algorithmic processing. First, the algorithms process the holographic electrostatic atomization and liquid charging mode. After this is completed, the System establishes a mathematical algorithm model for the non-dimensional distribution of atomized droplets. Lastly, the System combines its mathematical algorithm model with another non-dimensional distribution algorithm model to conduct voltage and air measurements.

The Patent also covers holographic electrostatic nebulization, which leverages the interactions between the electric field force, Coulomb force, droplet surface tension, and droplet surface stickiness to achieve nebulization. Compared with other atomization methods, holographic electrostatic atomization has the advantages of smaller atomization particle sizes, a singular particle size, and wide spatial dispersion. By controlling the parameters of different algorithms, the System can achieve atomization sizes between 2μm and 4μm for different atomized particles. Holographic electrostatic atomization can now be adopted in a wide variety of areas, including medical, industrial, environmental, transportation, electrostatic imaging, 3D printing, and electric vehicles, as well as in other fields in the future.

AutoStore sues Ocado for infringing technology patents central to the Ocado Smart Platform

Leave a comment

– Ocado Smart Platform’s automated storage and retrieval system unlawfully infringes AutoStore’s patented technology

– Ocado has signed agreements with retailers such as Kroger, Marks & Spencer and Morrisons for systems that infringe AutoStore’s intellectual property

– Complaints filed in both United States (US International Trade Commission; US District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia) and United Kingdom (High Court of England and Wales)

– AutoStore seeks orders barring Ocado and its partners from manufacturing and selling infringing products and importing them into the United States, as well as financial damages

NEDRE VATS, Norway, Oct. 2, 2020 — AutoStore, the pioneer and global leader in automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS), today filed patent infringement lawsuits in the United States and the United Kingdom against the UK FTSE 100-listed online grocery retailer and technology company, Ocado Group Plc.

The Black Line(TM): One of AutoStore’s Automated Storage & Retrieval Systems
The Black Line(TM): One of AutoStore’s Automated Storage & Retrieval Systems

AutoStore is seeking court orders barring Ocado and its partner, Tharsus Group (of Blyth, UK), from manufacturing, importing, using and selling technology that infringes AutoStore’s patents, as well as monetary damages. Ocado has signed agreements with retailers such as Kroger (US), Marks & Spencer (UK), and Morrisons (UK) that rely on the continued infringement of AutoStore’s intellectual property.

AutoStore has filed complaints in the following tribunals:

  • The US International Trade Commission, seeking an exclusion order preventing the importation of Ocado’s infringing products into the United States;
  • The US District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, seeking an injunction against, among other things, the manufacture, sale, and use of Ocado’s infringing products, as well as monetary damages for Ocado’s past and ongoing infringement of AutoStore’s intellectual property; and
  • The High Court of England and Wales, seeking, among other remedies, an injunction barring the manufacture, sale, and use of Ocado’s infringing products in the United Kingdom, as well as monetary damages.

The complaint filed with the US International Trade Commission also names Printed Motor Works (of Hampshire, UK), an Ocado supplier, as a respondent.

"Since 1996, AutoStore has developed and pioneered technology that has revolutionized retail storage and order fulfillment, and is driving the growth of online retail," said Karl Johan Lier, CEO and President of AutoStore. "Our ownership of the technology at the heart of Ocado’s warehousing system is clear. We will not tolerate Ocado’s continued infringement of our intellectual property rights in its effort to boost its growth and attempt to transform itself into a global technology company." 

AutoStore’s innovative automated storage and retrieval systems provide unprecedented configurability and flexibility to warehouse owners and operators. In the AutoStore system, storage bins are stacked vertically in a grid and stored in a cubic structure, with the bins retrieved by robots that travel on the top of the structure. AutoStore currently supports more than 500 installations and 18,000 robots across 30 countries, serving markets from grocery and healthcare to aviation for customers including ASDA (UK), Best Buy (USA), and Lufthansa (Germany).  Ocado too is an AutoStore customer, having first purchased AutoStore technology in 2012.

Ocado’s infringement of AutoStore’s AS/RS intellectual property – including the storage system and robots – is the foundation on which the "Ocado Smart Platform" (OSP) was built and on which Ocado’s business today is based. 

Ocado infringes the AutoStore patented technology, deploying it in Customer Fulfillment Centers ("CFCs") for its own online grocery business and for its customers, such as Morrisons in the UK. Ocado also entered into a partnership with Kroger (US) in 2018 to establish up to 20 CFC sites in the US based on AutoStore’s patented technology.

Ocado’s OSP infringes several AutoStore patents, including those relating to the fundamental central cavity design of the AS/RS robots; the arrangement of the lifting mechanism that enables those robots to lift and place bins in their cavities; and the robots’ in-wheel motors. A court in Norway has already found that AutoStore is entitled to ownership of its patents covering the robots’ central cavity technology, yet Ocado has continued to pursue lucrative partnerships by selling that technology – as well as other AutoStore-owned technology – as its own.

About AutoStore
Founded in 1996 as Jakob Hatteland Logistics AS, AutoStore is a robotics technology company that invented and continues to pioneer Cube Storage Automation, the densest storage technology. Its focus is to combine software and hardware with human capabilities to further develop the future of efficient warehouses.

JinkoSolar Receives Favorable Final Determination of Non-Infringement in U.S. ITC Patent Investigation Brought by Hanwha Q CELLS

Leave a comment

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., June 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. (NYSE: JKS), one of the largest and most innovative solar module manufacturers in the world, today announced that the United States International Trade Commission (“ITC”) issued a favorable final determination concluding JinkoSolar’s products do not infringe a patent asserted by Hanwha Q CELLS.

In March 2019, Hanwha initiated ITC Investigation No. 337-TA-1151 against JinkoSolar, LONGi Solar, and REC Group, asserting that the companies infringe U.S. Patent No. 9,893,215.

On June 3, 2020, the Commission issued its final determination in JinkoSolar’s favor, affirming the Administrative Law Judge’s initial determination in April, which was based on analysis of detailed, expert testimony, that JinkoSolar’s products do not infringe Hanwha’s patent.

“We welcome this final decision from the ITC, confirming what we have known all along: our products do not infringe Hanwha’s patent,” said Kangping Chen, CEO of JinkoSolar. “From the start, we have believed that the case brought by Hanwha was legally and technically meritless and a transparent attempt to disrupt innovation and slow our momentum. The ALJ’s decision confirms that Hanwha should never have brought this case in the first place. JinkoSolar is a true innovator, and this outcome validates our technology. Our top priority is to provide our customers around the world with the industry-leading, sustainable, high-quality, high-performance solar modules they have come to expect from us.”

Leave a comment

CHARLOTTE, North Carolina, May 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Following the United Kingdom (UK) court’s grant on May 7, 2020 of an interim injunction against Shenzhen Senior Technology Material Co., Ltd. (Senior) as requested by Celgard, LLC (Celgard), a subsidiary of Polypore International, LP (Polypore), the matter returned before the UK court on May 21, 2020. The court’s new order continued the effect of the interim injunction pending a further substantive hearing that will take place on an agreed date between June 29 and July 10, 2020. Senior provided an official letter to the Judge acknowledging its formal undertakings to the UK court. Celgard intends to pursue an injunction through trial of its trade secret case against Senior at the next hearing.

Celgard® dry-process coated and uncoated microporous membranes are used as separators in various lithium-ion batteries used primarily in electric drive vehicles (EDV), energy storage systems (ESS) and other specialty applications.

On April 30, 2020, Celgard filed an application for an urgent injunction against Senior in the High Court of Justice in London, England. On May 7, on an ex parte basis, the UK court granted an interim injunction to prevent Senior from importing certain battery separators into the UK.

Earlier on March 2, Celgard filed a Complaint against Defendants Shenzhen Senior Technology Material Co. Ltd. (Senior-China), Shenzhen Senior Technology Material Co. Ltd. (US) Research Institute (Senior-California), Xiaomin (Steven) Zhang, Sun Town Technology, Inc., Global Venture Development, LLC, and Global Venture Development, Inc. (collectively, Global Venture) (collectively, WDNC Defendants) in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of North Carolina (WDNC) for trade secret misappropriation, unfair and deceptive trade practices and unfair competition, civil conspiracy, unjust enrichment and conversion.

Additionally, Celgard filed a Second Amended Complaint against Defendants Shenzhen Senior Technology Material Co. Ltd. (US) Research Institute (Senior-California), Farasis Energy USA, Inc., Farasis Energy, Inc., Farasis Energy (Gan Zhou), Inc., and Farasis Energy (Gan Zhou) Co., Ltd. (collectively, Farasis), Sun Town Technology, Inc., Global Venture Development, LLC, and Global Venture Development, Inc. (collectively, Global Venture) (collectively, NDCA Defendants) for patent infringement, breach of contract and breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (NDCA).

The WDNC Complaint alleges the WDNC Defendants, including a former Celgard employee, Xiaomin (Steven) Zhang, now CTO of Senior-China who changed his name to Bin Wang at the request of Senior-China, purposely and unlawfully misappropriated Celgard’s trade secrets and confidential information and continue to do so. Several other violations of the law are also alleged.

The NDCA Second Amended Complaint alleges the NDCA Defendants infringe Celgard’s United States Reissued Patent RE47,520 (the ‘520 patent), formerly United States Patent 6,432,586 (the ‘586 patent), on ceramic coated separators, and Celgard’s United States Patent No. 6,692,867 (the ‘867 patent), on polypropylene separators, as well as several other violations of law and breaches. See Release.

In December 2019, Celgard filed a First Amended Complaint in the NDCA adding to the suit the Defendants Farasis, Sun Town, and Global Venture. See Release. 

In September 2019, Celgard filed suit against Senior who sells separators globally that they make in Shenzhen, China. Celgard’s Complaint alleges Senior has infringed Celgard’s U.S. ‘520 and ‘867 patents on ceramic coated and polypropylene separators, and has unlawfully misappropriated and misused Celgard’s trade secrets and confidential information, among other violations and seeks compensation for damages. See Release.

In September 2019, Celgard successfully settled a patent infringement lawsuit against Targray International. See Release. Celgard also successfully settled two suits in June 2019, against MTI Corporation. See Release.

The effective extension of the interim injunction and the successful outcome of the Targray and MTI cases further solidifies the integrity of Celgard’s intellectual property (IP) regarding coated and uncoated separators for lithium-ion batteries. Celgard will continue to prevent the unfair exploitation of its technology and IP to safeguard its assets and customers.
