Areas of Expertise
Battery technology
Battery technology plays an increasingly crucial role in various aspects of our lives, such as powering our smartphones, vehicles, renewable energy grids, and even our homes. As a result, the limitations of lithium-ion batteries, which are currently dominant, have come under intense scrutiny. This has created a transformative and dynamic period in battery technology, marked by volatility and innovation.
The demand for energy storage and safety standards has propelled advancements in super-fast charging, distributed energy storage networks, and over-the-air wireless charging options. Simultaneously, the emergence of alternative battery materials to lithium promises to revolutionize the future of energy storage.
Our team of experienced patent attorneys specializes in safeguarding and optimizing the commercial viability of a diverse range of battery-based technologies. We understand the evolving landscape of battery innovation and can help protect and maximize the potential of your battery-related inventions.
Fuel cells and hydrogen
Extensive research is underway to fully harness the potential of hydrogen as an energy carrier. Among the various avenues being explored are hydrogen fuel cells, particularly in the context of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and portable fuel cells. Additionally, there is a focus on renewable hydrogen production, such as through offshore wind turbine platforms and solar power systems specifically designed for hydrogen generation. Advancements in electrolysis and X-to-hydrogen-to-X processes are also being pursued, along with innovations in hydrogen distribution, liquefaction, and compression.
To ensure the safe and successful market entry of these emerging technologies, it is crucial to protect the inventive aspects that give their creators a competitive edge. This is where our team of patent attorneys excels in providing valuable assistance.
Our experienced patent attorneys specialize in safeguarding the innovations involved in hydrogen-related technologies. We understand the importance of preserving the competitive advantage of inventors in this rapidly evolving field. By securing robust patent protection, we help ensure that their groundbreaking ideas remain safeguarded, enabling them to fully capitalize on their inventions.
Carbon capture
Despite fossil fuels continuing to be the primary source of global electricity generation, the traditional methods of power production remain significant contributors to carbon emissions. In response, governments worldwide, including Korea, have made ambitious commitments to significantly reduce local carbon emissions. To achieve these goals, widespread adoption of carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies is imperative.
At our firm, our team of patent attorneys has extensive experience working on diverse projects related to CCUS technologies. This includes projects focusing on capture and sequestration methods, utilization of captured carbon, mobile carbon capture technologies, direct air capture, oxy-combustion techniques, and bioenergy carbon capture and storage.
We understand the critical role of intellectual property protection in driving innovation and maximizing the commercial potential of CCUS technologies. By leveraging our expertise, we can help inventors and organizations secure robust patent protection for their groundbreaking advancements in carbon capture, ensuring their competitive advantage and facilitating the widespread deployment of these technologies to combat climate change effectively.
Wind and wave energy
Wind and wave energy are essential for achieving global decarbonization, mitigating climate change, and aiding the Korean government in its mission to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
The transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources demands substantial innovation. As this shift intensifies competition, companies at the forefront must safeguard their inventions, ideas, and products from unauthorized scrutiny and potential infringement by competitors.
Our team of experienced patent attorneys specializes in providing comprehensive protection for your intellectual property (IP) rights. By ensuring robust IP protection, we empower you to maintain your current objectives and support your long-term strategy.
