Energy Harvesting for Wireless Sensor Networks, a IP & Patent Report 2009 Edition 2
West Technology Research Solutions, Nov 2009, Pages: 439
EnOcean Dominates IP Ownership in Energy Harvesting for Wireless Sensor Networks
This new report evaluates intellectual property ownership, protection issues, and the growth of the adoption of energy harvesting for wireless sensor networks.
“Both EnOcean’s patent portfolio and its commitment to protecting that portfolio are very strong”, according to Kirsten West, PhD, Principal Analyst with WTRS. “Companies marketing solutions that combine the use of wireless sensor technologies integrated with energy harvesting technologies need to be aware of existing intellectual property”.
Many wireless sensor network applications are not addressable with products requiring access to mains power. Thus tuning the power requirements of the wireless sensor network components to minimize battery power use is a priority for many companies. Energy scavenging or harvesting technologies are also a topic of intense research effort and in combination with improvements in power consumption in wireless semiconductor devices, a class of solutions is emerging which eliminates the requirements for either battery power or any other external power connection instead operating on power generated by extracting energy from the surrounding environment.
This report reviews intellectual property holdings of companies participating in energy harvesting markets and also wireless sensor networks optimized for energy harvesting. The report issues surrounding the adoption of wireless sensor networks powered by energy harvesting technologies. In this market sector, the fundamental intellectual property is owned by EnOcean GmbH. EnOcean GmbH is a German technology company that develops energy harvesting technologies, energy-efficient wireless sensor network technologies operating with these energy harvesting devices, and technology products that leverage the integration between the energy harvesting and RF technologies.
Using only publicly available information, gathered from public patent sources, and filing information, this report reviews intellectual property holdings of the primary participants in Energy Harvesting for wireless sensor networks. ,analyzes intellectual property protection issues, and EnOcean intellectual property holdings, as well as activities by individual inventors at EnOcean.
The report also
- summarizes the corporate background and analyzes the intellectual property holdings of AdaptivEnergy LLC, Cymbet Corp, Greenpeak Technologies BV, and Micropelt Gmbh
- reviews EnOcean GmbH and its alliance activity
- summarizes the EnOcean wireless technology
- analyzes intellectual property management strategies
- analyzes intellectual property holdings of EnOcean GmbH
- Summarizes intellectual property creation activities of individual members at EnOcean GmbH
