\"NEED<\/p>\n

Starting from an idea to Patenting<\/a><\/strong>, it involves number of stages. In order to keep a patent \/ patent application active, the applicants need to comply with requirements of the patent office, for example, responding to office action, payment of fee, request for examination, etc. These requirements play a major role in the life cycle of the patent. Around 30-40% of the people who file patents are unaware of these requirements which may have legal implications including loss of rights.<\/p>\n

While there has been a tremendous increase in patent filing<\/a><\/strong> count across various technologies, there is also a considerable percentage of patents \/ patent applications which fail to meet the requirements specified by the patent office. Such patents \/ patent applications are considered as INACTIVE Patents Publications.<\/p>\n

Our research team at DexPatent<\/a><\/strong>, has done an in-depth study on Inactive Patent Publications in the field of Flexible Electronics to highlight the opportunities that Inactive Patent Publications present to the IP Fraternity.<\/p>\n

Flexible Electronics, also known as \u201cflex circuits\u201d, is a technology for assembling electronic circuits by mounting electronic devices on flexible plastic substrates.\u00a0Commonly, the substrates are made of polyimide, PEEK or transparent conductive polyester film. The ruggedness, portability and light-weight of flexible electronics, when compared to rigid substrates, is revolutionizing the electronics industry. Flexible Electronics is here to stay as it promises a new design factor for novel devices and it also costs less.<\/p>\n

From an IP point of view, a majority of the patents in Flexible Electronic have\u00a0been filed in the manufacturing of flexible substrate & flexible films. There are also patents filed<\/a><\/strong> in the areas of flexible batteries, memory and sensors. Incidentally, while the number of patents filed in Flexible Electronics is showing a healthy trend, there are also a\u00a0 huge number of inactive patents. \u00a0We have recently researched on Inactive patent publications in Flexible electronics as it presents a great opportunity to innovators to delve further.<\/p>\n
