With more than 200 issued patents worldwide, Group14 has established a leading intellectual property position in battery materials. Our global patent portfolio protects SCC55®, our proprietary silicon-carbon composite anode material and the innovations that enable its performance, scalability, and manufacturing at industrial scale.
Built on more than 15 years of category leadership, Group14 holds foundational, first-of-their-kind patents spanning both the porous carbon scaffold and advanced silicon-carbon composite chemistry behind SCC55®. By pairing material breakthroughs with patented, commercial-scale manufacturing methodologies, we protect our first-mover advantage and power the silicon battery revolution.
SCC55® is engineered for gigafactory-scale production at scale. By integrating material innovation directly with drop-in manufacturability, Group14 provides battery manufacturers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) with a clear path from pilot programs to gigawatt-hour (GWh) scale output.
As global adoption of silicon batteries accelerates across electric vehicles (EVs), consumer electronics, grid energy storage, and more, Group14 actively expands and enforces its IP portfolio. We monitor global markets to prevent unauthorized IP usage, ensuring fair competition as next-generation battery technology moves into mass production and global, widespread adoption.
This proactive approach is designed to ensure fair competition as manufacturing scales across North America, Europe, and Asia. Today, SCC55® is actively deployed in real-world energy storage applications, proving how our patented innovation translates into real-world applications and delivers superior energy density, fast-charging performance, and reliability at commercial scale.
As has already happened in the battery market and other industries, government-backed foreign competitors have aggressively copied critical American technology, flooding global markets with cheaper “knock-off” goods and crippling those industries. Sadly, this pattern appears to be repeating. Read our perspective on how robust patent protection secures the future of American energy storage.
