Overview

Chris Sacca, a Silicon Valley venture capitalist and an early investor on Twitter, said, “We’re at a point in the state of intellectual property where existing patents probably cover every behavior happening on the Internet or our cell phones.”


Sacca’s statement may sound provocative and too general to be accurate, but it does make an important point. The wireless power industry will be the next big focus of the intellectual property marketplace. Over a hundred thousand wireless charging patents have been filed since the early 2000s (refer to Chapter 5).

This 75+ page long report aims to help readers learn about the wireless charging industry, technologies, market potential, and trends. After reading this report, a reader could be able to predict the future of the wireless power transfer industry and will understand the know-how of IP patent regulations and industry licensing scenarios currently prevailing in the wireless charging industry. Further, gain insight into how to make the most of your
interest in of wireless charging and its commercial potential.

The coverage of the report includes a:

  • Comparative overview of various Wireless Power Technologies and standards bodies
  • Technical overview identifying key system-level aspects of the system
  • Technology roadmap based on the evolution of smartphones, customer needs, and technical feasibility.
  • IPMoat analysis, including a comparative analysis of the top licensing agencies and a study of the patent landscape (with a few surprise mentions!)

  • Chapter 1 introduces the reader to various concepts of Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) technologies a and their potential applications.
  • Chapter 2 provides the reader a background on the various Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) technologies already developed, those being designed, and their potential applications. The chapter also introduces the reader to the different
    standard bodies in this space. After introducing WPT, the following chapters will focus exclusively on WPT systems that use NFMC found in over a billion devices and almost every smartphone shipped in 2021.
  • Chapter 3 provides a high-level and detailed look at the technical aspects of a wireless power system. It describes the critical building blocks of the system. Subsequently, it identifies the key parameters that need to be optimized for maximum performance in terms of high power and high efficiency.
  • Chapter 4 connects the dots from the past to the present and to the future. In this chapter, we will explore data from product launches and data from smartphone technologies (including the impact of communication technologies, batteries, fast charging). We will combine the data with the information from Chapter 2 to convey to the reader our predictions of the critical changes in technologies expected in future products.
  • Chapter 5 will discuss the state and relevance of Intellectual property and Licensing in the wireless power transmission industry.
  • Chapter 6 will round up the discussion with some crucial M&A activity that has taken place in the industry and provide a list of some key players in the industry

Clients Experience

I recently had the pleasure of working with Lumenci, and I their technical patent support was absolutely outstanding. We are monetizing a networking based patent portfolio, and Lumenci's expertise and guidance were crucial to our success. They helped us to identify the most promising infringement reads, provided valuable insight into the patent landscape, and were always available to answer our questions and offer advice.

Overall, I would highly recommend Lumenci to anyone looking for top-notch technical patent support in the patent monetization space. They are an incredibly talented and dedicated team, and their contributions were absolutely critical to our success.
