Abstract
In this paper the world wide patents on the recycling of used batteries were inspected. The trend and direction of on-going and future technologies on this matter were analyzed. The range of search was limited in the open patents and in DB of U.S.A.(USPTO, DLPHION), Japan(PAJ), Europe(EPO), and Korea(KIPRIS). For the search condition the keyword, battery, batteries, electric cell, patent, and recycling, and IPC classification were used. The total of 2,490 cases was found at the first search stage, then, through the 2 steps of filtering processes the total of 871 cases was selected for the final analysis. These 871 cases were classified by countries, companies, and technologies between the year 1971 and the you 2000.
