Residential Wireless Control Network Patent & IP Report
West Technology Research Solutions, Aug 2006, Pages: 37
This report exposes the risk of aggressive litigation and IP protection strategies on the adoption of RF-only home control, or residential wireless control network, technologies. The issues surrounding patent protection activities of key players in this market become critical to the success of any one implementation of networking technology.
Using only publicly available information, meticulously gathered from public patent sources, filing information,
and court activities, this report is truly an invaluable resource for any company participating in the Home Control and Automation Market, or planning a potential entry into this market.
The typical inhibitors of the adoption of Home Control and Automation technologies are identified as low reliability, high cost, difficult installation and use, as well as the absence of an easily identifiable end customer value proposition. A previously unidentified risk to technology adoption is the control of key intellectual property assets covering RF-only solutions by the Lutron Corporation.
The manufacturers of Home Control and Automation products based on ZigBee, Z-Wave, and other RF-only technologies face significant litigation risk from a major industry participant. This report examines, in depth, the substantial business impact of litigation on this market segment.
The typical deterrents to acceptance of Home Control and Automation technologies are readily identified as low reliability, high cost, difficult installation and use, as well as the absence of an easily identifiable end customer value proposition. A previously unidentified risk, more difficult to overcome and hence more deadly to the industry and its innovation sector, is the control of key intellectual property assets covering RF-only solutions by the Lutron Corporation.
Products Covered in this Report Include:
- ZigBee,
- Z-Wave,
- X-10
- INSTEON
