WHEN SELF-HEALING NETWORKS BEGAN TO EVOLVE RAPIDLY? Self-healing networks are intelligent, adaptive communication systems that can detect, diagnose, and automatically recover from faults or failures, without human intervention. The innovation landscape for self-healing networks experienced a significant shift in patent applications starting in 2010. The technology received consistent patent applications…

STRUCTURAL BATTERY COMPOSITES Structural battery composites are materials that can store energy like a battery while also being strong and lightweight, similar to components of a vehicle or device structure. The most common approach to realize such multifunctional composites has been to embed thin-film batteries within composite laminates to create…

Telepresence is a technology that allows a person to feel or appear as if they are present at a location different from their physical location. It enables real-time interaction with remote environments and people through the use of audiovisual and sometimes tactile (touch) interfaces. The goal of telepresence is to…

Biodegradable textiles are fabrics made from materials that can naturally decompose back into the environment without leaving harmful residues, reducing landfill waste and environmental impact. They are typically crafted from natural fibers like cotton, hemp, linen, and wool, or modern biopolymers like polylactic acid (PLA). These materials break down through…

The filing trend for Chiplet technology saw consistent growth from 2015 to 2023. This period marks the largest number of patent filings and indicates the boost in the development of Chiplet technology during this phase. A total of 372 patents were filed in 2023, marking the highest number for any…

Chiplets are small, modular integrated circuits that can be combined to create a more complex system-on-chip (SoC) or multi-die design. Unlike traditional monolithic chips, which incorporate all functionalities into a single silicon die, Chiplets break down these into smaller, specialized dies. These Chiplets are then interconnected within a single package,…

Using a patent as collateral for a bank loan is a method where a patent holder pledges the patent as security for a loan, essentially offering the patent as a guarantee for repayment. A total of 539 reassignments were done from January 2025 to April 2025, where the patents were…
