Wireless EV Charging for Micromobility Patent Landscape
The patent corpus for wireless EV charging applied to micromobility is exceptionally nascent, with only 2 patent families in scope and a single individual inventor holding all recorded activity. The field filed its only activity in 2018 and has shown no additional recorded filings since, signalling either an early-stage niche or a significant indexing gap that warrants direct database investigation.
One inventor holds all activity in a two-family corpus
LYDEN ROBERT M is the sole ranked applicant, holding both patent families in scope — representing complete concentration at the top of the applicant ranking.
The top five filers account for 100% of the ranked applicants visible in this query’ combined total, a concentration figure that reflects the extreme smallness of this corpus rather than dominance by an established corporate player.

The absence of any corporate assignee, major OEM, or wireless-charging specialist in
The most recent filings date to 2018; publication lag is unlikely to explain the absence of activity from 2019 onward, but the corpus size is too small to draw firm conclusions without broader search validation. Longer-window growth, applicant concentration, and technology-route coverage are therefore more reliable signals than the latest-year bar alone.
All filings concentrated in 2018; technology mix is uniform
The annual filing chart and technology composition together paint a picture of a field that generated a single burst of activity and has not expanded since. Both data points reinforce the nascent or under-indexed character of this topic.
Annual filing trend
Both patent families were filed in 2018; every other year from 2017 through 2026 registers zero. The most recent 18–24 months are subject to publication lag, but the multi-year zero run from 2019 onward is notable and cannot be attributed to lag alone.

Both families are classified exclusively under B60L (Electric vehicle propulsion), indicating that all filed subject matter falls within the core EV propulsion branch with no diversification into adjacent IPC classes such as charging infrastructure, power electronics, or communications.

Ranked by total forward citations. Citation counts favour older and broadly cited patent families, and broad or adjacent patents may appear when they match the search scope. Treat this section as citation context, not as a curated list of the most topic-specific patents. Some patent titles may be shown in their original, non-English language where an accurate translation could not be guaranteed.
What the structure means for R&D investment decisions
A corpus of two families from a single inventor, all filed in one year, offers limited direct competitive intelligence but does frame the opportunity space clearly. The structural observations below are grounded strictly in the available evidence.
Life-cycle stage undetermined from available evidence
The lifecycle stage is not determinable from the current corpus. With only 2 patent families filed in a single year and no subsequent activity, the data does not support characterising the field as growth-stage, mature, or declining. An R&D team should treat this as an unvalidated niche requiring broader prior-art search before committing resources.
Evidence pendingExtreme concentration in a minimal corpus
A single individual inventor accounts for all 2 patent families in scope. This level of concentration is atypical even for nascent fields and most likely reflects an indexing or query-scope limitation rather than a true market structure. Corporate and institutional filers active in adjacent wireless-charging or micromobility spaces are not captured here.
Single filerNo co-applicant activity recorded
Evidence pending. No co-filing or collaborative applicant relationships appear in the collaboration data. This is consistent with solo-inventor activity but should not be read as evidence that industry consortia or academic–industry partnerships are absent from the broader technology space.
No co-filersFiling activity is exclusively United States
Both patent families are filed and jurisdiction-indexed in the United States only. There is no recorded PCT, EPO, or Asian office coverage. An organisation seeking freedom to operate in Europe or Asia-Pacific for wireless micromobility charging would find this corpus provides minimal blocking risk outside the US, though a wider search is advisable.

Assignee snapshot from the current evidence set
The applicants below are visible in this query result. Because the evidence set is relatively small, read this section as a directional snapshot rather than a full competitive ranking.
LYDEN ROBERT M
LYDEN ROBERT M holds all 2 patent families in scope, both classified under B60L 53 (Electric vehicle propulsion). No applicant momentum data is available, as the filing activity is confined to 2018 with no recorded subsequent filings. This is an individual inventor position, not a corporate portfolio.
patent families: 2No challenger identified
No second-ranked applicant appears in the evidence. The corpus does not contain a challenger tier. Organisations active in adjacent wireless-charging IP (e.g. inductive charging for consumer electronics or EV highway charging) do not appear in this specific corpus.
patent families: N/AFrequently asked questions
The current corpus contains 2 patent families in scope. This is an unusually small corpus and may reflect a narrow query definition or limited filing activity in this specific intersection of technologies.
LYDEN ROBERT M is the sole ranked applicant, holding both patent families. No corporate assignee, OEM, or wireless-charging specialist appears in the ranking derived from this corpus.
Both patent families were filed in 2018. No additional filings are recorded from 2019 through 2026 in the current corpus.
Both patent families are filed in the United States only. No PCT, EPO, Chinese, or other national office coverage is recorded, meaning freedom-to-operate concerns outside the US are not raised by this specific corpus.
Both families are classified solely under B60L (Electric vehicle propulsion). Adjacent branches such as H02J (wireless power transfer) and H04W (communications) are absent from the current corpus, representing potential areas for further prior-art investigation.
No co-applicant or collaborative filing relationships are recorded. With a single individual inventor accounting for the entire corpus, organised competitive or collaborative dynamics cannot be assessed from this evidence alone; a broader search across adjacent IPC classes is recommended.

Patent data carries inherent limitations: recent filings (typically the most recent 18–24 months) are under-counted due to standard publication lag; counts may be reported at either a patent-family or a patent-record basis and are not always directly comparable; classification, applicant-name, and citation data may contain errors, duplicates, or omissions; and the underlying search query defines and constrains the scope shown. As a result, the analysis may be incomplete or inaccurate and may not reflect the full technology landscape.
