1 case as defendant.
Powermat Technologies Ltd, commonly known as Powermat, is a privately held Israeli company headquartered in Neve Ilan, Israel. Founded in 2006 by Ran Poliakine, the company has raised approximately $108 million in funding and reported an estimated annual revenue of around $15.7 million. The company employs between 40-60 individuals.
Powermat specializes in developing and licensing wireless power technology and platforms. Their offerings include Qi-certified and proprietary wireless charging solutions for a diverse range of industries, such as consumer electronics, automotive, robotics, drones, medical devices, IoT, and telecom (5G applications). The company manufactures both receivers and transmitters for various applications and provides software services for managing wireless power networks in public venues. Its inductive charging technology has been adopted by global market leaders including Samsung, LG, General Motors, Starbucks, and AT&T. Powermat holds a substantial intellectual property portfolio, with over 225 granted patents, many of which are considered essential for the Qi wireless charging standard.
Powermat's patent litigation posture is that of an operating company defending its intellectual property. The company has no plaintiff cases and one tracked defendant case, indicating that its patents are being challenged rather than it being an active enforcer through litigation. In 2020, Powermat partnered with First Libra to support its IP monetization, prosecution, licensing, and litigation efforts. The company also entered into a patent license agreement with Panasonic Automotive Systems Co., Ltd. in April 2025.
The sole tracked case, "Unified Patents PTAB Data v. Powermat Technologies Ltd," reflects this defensive posture. In this instance, Unified Patents, an organization focused on deterring invalid patent assertions, is challenging Powermat's patents at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB). Specifically, Anker Innovations Ltd. has filed inter partes review (IPR) petitions (IPR2024-00994 and IPR2024-00995) against Powermat's patents 9,048,696 and 9,083,204, respectively.
An inter partes review challenging US patent 9048696 was filed by Unified Patents PTAB Data against Powermat Technologies Ltd, the patent owner, resulting in a Final Written Decision.
