Patents

Smoltek uses a glob­al patent strat­e­gy to pro­tect our tech­nol­o­gy plat­form in all impor­tant mar­kets. This includes core patents as well as patent pro­tec­tion at appli­ca­tion level. 

Our inno­v­a­tive tech­nol­o­gy plat­form is pro­tect­ed with an IP-port­fo­lio of 110+ patents grant­ed and pend­ing, dis­trib­uted among 21 patent fam­i­lies, as well as a sig­nif­i­cant body of know-how and trade secrets.

The strate­gic and con­tin­u­ous devel­op­ment of our patent port­fo­lio is dri­ven by the need for dis­rup­tive mate­ri­als and tech­ni­cal solu­tions that enables indus­tri­al­ly com­pat­i­ble fab­ri­ca­tion of nanos­truc­tures for var­i­ous appli­ca­tions, like capac­i­tors for semi­con­duc­tors and elec­trode cell mate­ri­als for electrolyzers.
