Feedbacks and Comments on this report can be sent to feedback_tr@patentinsightpro.com GRAPHENE - OVERVIEW Graphene is an allotrope of carbon, whose structure is one-atom-thick planar sheets of sp2-bonded carbon atoms that are densely packed in a honeycomb crystal lattice. The term graphene was coined as a combination of graphite and the suffix -ene by Hanns-Peter Boehm, who described single-layer carbon foils in 1962. Graphene is most easily visualized as an atomic-scale chicken wire made of carbon atoms and their bonds. The crystalline or "flake" form of graphite consists of many graphene sheets stacked together. The carbon-carbon bond length in graphene is about 0.142 nanometers. Graphene sheets stack to form graphite with an interplanar spacing of 0.335 nm, which means that a stack of 3 million sheets would be only one millimetre thick. Graphene is the basic structural element of some carbon allotropes including graphite, charcoal, carbon nanotubes and fullerenes. It can also be considered as an indefinitely large aromatic molecule, the limiting case of the family of flat polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Because of its range of extraordinary properties, people are considering using graphene in a myriad of different applications. For example, because graphene is so strong, people want to use it to reinforce plastics, making them conductive at the same time. Because it's transparent and conducts electricity, people want to use it in applications like mobile phone screens, touch screens, TV screens and so on. People are also considering using it to go beyond silicon technology and make our integrated circuits even denser and speedier. Those are just few examples. It is lighter than a feather, stronger than steel, yet incredibly flexible and more conductive than copper. It has been hailed as “the miracle material”, it’s possible uses are apparently almost endless. This report is an update of Technology Insight Report on Graphene prepared in 2013 and is prepared following a noticeable increase in research activities around Graphene.

We used PatSeer to search individual publications and then collapsed them to one member per Family (Simple Families). Patent families are a group of one or more patent applications in multiple countries which represent the same invention. Table 1: Summary of worldwide patent dataset for graphene Number of patent publications 49912 Number of patent families 30963 Earliest Priority year range 2004 TO 2017 Top Applicant Samsung Electronics Co Ltd NOTE:  All analysis in this report has been done on Simple Family (one member per family) unless specifically mentioned and so the data in the charts should be construed accordingly  Records for Samsung Electronics, Samsung Display have not been grouped together in Samsung Group as there are some patents owned by both these companies individually  Total number of records considered for analysis were 30000 as some of the irrelevant records were removed from the data set after manual review

Feedbacks and Comments on this report can be sent to feedback_tr@patentinsightpro.com INVENTOR GROUPS OF KEY COMPANIES IN GRAPHENE The generated map below highlights key inventor groups of Hon Hai Precision and Univ Tsinghua. In map below the groups are created using network relationships and the records are positioned on the map based on their relationship to Assignee and inventors listed on the graph. Also groups of inventors who file together will appear clustered together. As can be seen inventor groups of Jiang Kaili, Fan Shoushan and Wang Jiaping appear together as they have common records between them. Patent nodes for Univ Tsinghua and Hon Hai are represented in red and green respectively. How we did it? Using the VizMAP tool, patents of Univ Tsinghua and Hon Hai Precision were loaded from Current Assignee field within ‘Analyze By’ option in the network mode. These were then expanded by their respective inventor names. We then restricted the map to those inventors having 2 or more records. Links option was enabled to link the records between different inventors and assignees. Color by Current Assignees option was used to differentiate records for different assignees.

Feedbacks and Comments on this report can be sent to feedback_tr@patentinsightpro.com SUMMARY This report categorizes and graphically analyzes graphene technologies. It is clear from the patenting trends in graphene-related patents and company portfolio and activity, that this is a rapidly emerging research-based area of technology. Looking at the trends in the classification of patents, this technology is now finding application in a diverse range of technological areas. Graphene-related technologies are classified in a diverse range of places in the IPC and though the majority of sub-groups relate to the chemistry and processing of graphene, there are a significant and diverse range of application-specific classifications applied. Varying research strategies of the applicants are evident from the patent collaborations; Samsung exhibits a reasonable amount of collaboration, whilst other top applicants show none. The different nature of the top applicants is further highlighted by the technology landscape which reveals that, in contrast to the specialism evident from most applicants, Samsung is active in a very diverse range of graphene-related technology. China has emerged as leader (in the last five years) in terms of manufacturing as well as applications of graphene.
