ILScience announced on the 11th that it received a valuation of approximately 110.7 billion won based on an external agency's evaluation of its all-solid-state battery technology patents.
In order to confirm the excellence of the company's solid-state battery technology, ILScience conducted a value assessment of some of its patents and, in order to ensure the reliability of the assessment, commissioned patent assessments to two patent law firms, Asiana International Patent Law Firm and Taechang Patent Law Firm. Each patent law firm analyzed the market potential of solid-state batteries, including the humanoid robot and space battery markets, and the technicality of the patents being assessed, and applied the "royalty approach" to assess the value of the patents. As a result, the value of the relevant patents was assessed at approximately KRW 110.7 billion and KRW 104.2 billion, respectively.
The patents evaluated by IL Science this time are related to a total of 4 patents, including a cathode substrate, a high-capacity solid-state battery, and its manufacturing method, among the solid-state battery patents that the company owns. The company sees this evaluation as particularly significant in that it has verified the international competitiveness of its solid-state battery technology, with the US registered patent being valued at over KRW 83 billion, and has been recognized as a company with global solid-state battery technology.
Based on the company's proven solid-state battery technology, IL Science plans to expand its application to aerospace and mobility fields, including humanoid robots. Solid-state battery technology is particularly considered a key technology for mass production of humanoid robots, and is thus drawing attention from the industry.
The global investment bank Morgan Stanley predicted in its 'Humanoid 100' report that the humanoid robot market will grow to a maximum of 60 trillion dollars (approximately 86,622 trillion won) in the next 10 years. If mass production of humanoid robots that can interact with humans is successful, it could lead a market larger than electric vehicles, but there is still a risk of fire caused by battery overheating or external impact, so the three domestic battery companies are also working hard to commercialize all-solid-state batteries to improve the risk.
An official from ILScience stated, “As the humanoid robot market is emerging as a next-generation food source and the importance of all-solid-state battery technology is being highlighted, our patented technology has been proven to be excellent by a professional evaluation agency, securing the reliability of its value.” He added, “This evaluation was conducted not for the purpose of reflecting the company’s financial statements, as is the case with general re-evaluations of tangible assets, but to confirm the excellence of the company’s technology and the reliability of the value of its patented technology.”
He continued, “Based on our successful development and commercialization of the world’s first silicone lens material, we will utilize the technology we possess and the U.S. patent for lithium anode sheet technology currently under research to lay the foundation for a global leap forward with next-generation solid-state battery material technology that is key to the aerospace and mobility fields, including humanoid robots.”
