Following the news that James Dyson announced Dyson will be investing over £2 billion to launch its first electric car in 2020, PatSnap, the world’s leading provider of R&D analytics, has provided a report on Dyson’s patent portfolio, as well as Sakti3, the battery focused company that Dyson acquired in 2016. PatSnap has also provided a brief comment below on Dyson’s ambition as well as its IP portfolio.Ray Chohan, SVP, Corporate Strategy at PatSnap, said: “A bit like Elon Musk, James Dyson is an inspirational pillar of creative engineering. With this huge amount of investment being made into creating an electric car, alongside the wealth of battery and motor technology within Dyson’s intellectual property portfolio, we should be very excited to see what comes of his promise. Looking at Dyson’s current IP, there appears to be very few patents that are specifically focused on transport vehicles as of yet, however its acquisition of battery company Sakti3 last year may prove key in developing the technology it will need to power its electric car, and add a new dimension to the electric vehicle industry.”
