Zhejiang Lichen New Material Technology Co., Ltd. is a privately held company headquartered in Zhejiang Sheng, China, established on September 30, 2019. The company specializes in the production and sale of nanomaterials and electrode materials.
In the context of recent litigation, Zhejiang Lichen New Material Technology Co., Ltd. has been identified as a foreign manufacturer of battery anode materials. The company is part of a collective referred to as "C-ONE," which also includes Carbon One New Energy Co., Ltd. and Carbon One New Energy (Hangzhou) Co., Ltd.
The company's patent litigation posture indicates it is an operating company defending against patent infringement claims. With one tracked case as a defendant and zero as a plaintiff, its primary involvement in patent disputes appears to be defensive. This single case is filed in the Eastern District of Texas, a venue frequently chosen for patent litigation.
