Solid-State Battery Patent Landscape 2026

  • Filings have already turned down. the peak was 2023 at 2,170 records, and the largest filers are now pulling back sharply — Toyota's latest-year count is down 89% year-on-year.
  • H01M carries the bulk of the claim space. 19,832 records sit in batteries and cells, but conductor/insulator (H01B), inorganic compound (C01B/C01G) and ceramic (C04B) subclasses show meaningful overlap that most searches miss.
  • Co-filing is rare and concentrated. only 10 co-assignee pairs appear at scale, and one pairing — Hyundai and Kia — accounts for 373 shared filings, far ahead of any other alliance.
