BEEM granted European patent for smart phase-change battery thermal tech
AI Summary
Beam Global (BEEM) announced the European Patent Office granted EP 4 348 756 B1 covering its Smart Phase Change Composite (Smart PCC) for passive thermal management of lithium‐ion batteries. The material acts as a thermal switch (insulating in cold, dissipating heat in high temps), targeting drones, robotics, defense and niche EV/energy storage uses and strengthening Beam's IP in Europe, but the company disclosed no licensing deals or revenue tied to the patent.
