Core Viewpoint - The acceleration of intellectual property (IP) "going global" is a significant trend for Chinese enterprises, reflecting their transition from being a "world factory" to an "innovation laboratory" on the global stage [5][10]. Group 1: Growth in International Patent Applications - The number of PCT international patent applications submitted by domestic applicants increased by 12.7% year-on-year, while Hague system design applications rose by 23.2% [9]. - As of September 2024, China ranks first globally in both PCT international patent applications and Hague system design applications [3][5]. - The volume of PCT international patent applications related to green low-carbon technologies reached 6,356, which is 2.3 times that of 2020, maintaining a global leading position for four consecutive years [11]. Group 2: Importance of IP for Market Expansion - IP "going global" is essential for gaining access to overseas markets, with many Chinese companies prioritizing IP layout 18-24 months before entering foreign markets [6][10]. - The protection of brand value through IP is crucial, as many Chinese companies have faced challenges such as trademark squatting abroad [6][8]. - High-tech enterprises are increasingly recognizing the competitive advantage that comes from proactive IP strategies, with patent certification enhancing product premium capabilities [6][10]. Group 3: Trends in IP Management and Strategy - The trend of IP "going global" is primarily led by technology-intensive enterprises, which invest heavily in R&D and have a broader overseas IP layout [10]. - Chinese companies have improved their ability to handle IP disputes, with a reported win rate of over 70% in overseas IP litigation since 2024 [10]. - The exploration of technology licensing models is becoming a preferred strategy for companies like CATL, allowing them to generate revenue through licensing fees while minimizing risks associated with product exports [12][14]. Group 4: Development of Standard Essential Patents - Chinese enterprises are focusing on the development of standard essential patents (SEPs), with companies like Huawei leading in various key standard patent areas [13]. - The establishment of patent pools is being encouraged to facilitate cross-licensing and reduce transaction costs, promoting the industrial application of patented technologies [14]. Group 5: International Cooperation and Future Outlook - China has established stable cooperative relationships with over 80 countries and regions, with more than 200 active IP cooperation agreements [15]. - The annual import and export total of IP usage fees in China increased from 319.44 billion yuan to 398.71 billion yuan from 2020 to 2024, reflecting a compound annual growth rate of 5.7% [15]. - The ongoing transformation of China's industrial structure from labor-intensive to technology-intensive is expected to enhance its role in global innovation and development [16].

Core Viewpoint - The global competition in the power battery market is intensifying as Chinese battery manufacturers, particularly CATL, gain market share over their South Korean counterparts, driven by the rapid adoption of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries and strategic adjustments by companies like LG Energy Solution (LGES) and Samsung SDI [1][2][9] Group 1: Market Dynamics - In 2024, CATL surpassed LGES in overseas market share for the first time, with CATL's battery installation volume reaching 96.8 GWh compared to LGES's 87.9 GWh, marking a significant shift in the competitive landscape [2] - Major South Korean battery manufacturers, including LGES, Panasonic, and Samsung SDI, experienced slower growth rates in battery installation volumes compared to the industry average, with some reporting declines exceeding 10% [2][9] - The financial performance of these South Korean firms reflected this market shift, as they reported losses attributed to the rapid penetration of LFP batteries and slow adaptation to changing market demands [2] Group 2: Strategic Adjustments - LGES is accelerating its transition to LFP battery production, repurposing existing facilities in Michigan for LFP production and planning to convert some of its NCM battery lines in Tennessee and Ohio [4] - LGES secured a significant contract with Renault's Ampere to supply approximately 39 GWh of LFP batteries from 2025 to 2030, marking a strategic entry into the European market [4] - Samsung SDI is also adapting by introducing LFP production lines in its Indiana facility, aligning with General Motors' shift towards LFP batteries for most of its upcoming electric vehicle models [5] Group 3: Technological Innovations - LGES announced a collaboration with General Motors to develop a new type of lithium manganese iron phosphate (LMFP) battery, which offers over 30% higher energy density than current LFP batteries while maintaining similar costs [5] - Samsung SDI has initiated mass production of the 46 series cylindrical batteries, with plans to expand into the electric vehicle market, while Panasonic is preparing for mass production of its 4680 battery [7] Group 4: Patent Strategies - A patent battle is emerging as LGES and Panasonic established a patent pool named "Tulip Innovation" to protect their intellectual property, which includes over 5,000 patents [8] - The patent pool has already taken legal action against Chinese battery companies for alleged patent infringements, highlighting the importance of intellectual property in the competitive landscape [8][9] Group 5: Future Outlook - The competition in the global power battery market is becoming increasingly multifaceted, with key variables such as LFP technology, cylindrical batteries, and patent litigation shaping the industry's future [9]
