Wireless Lighting Control IP & Litigation - A WTRS Report
|
Wireless Lighting Control IP & Litigation - A WTRS Report published by West Technology Research Solutions in December, 2009. This report consists of 23 pages and the price starts from US $ 2000.
Abstract
Home automation has been on the verge of mass adoption for several decades.
One of the reasons that it has not grown substantially as a market lies with
the IP protection activities of Lutron Electronics. This report analyzes the
effect of litigation activities and IP protection strategies on the adoption
of RF-only home control, or residential wireless control network,
technologies. The report also documents the issues surrounding patent
protection activities of key players in this market.
As the nascent Home Automation market matures and new products and vendors
emerge, it is likely that Lutron will continue to engage in intellectual
property protection activities. Based on recent activities, it appears that
Lutron Electronics is focused on companies implementing ZigBee lighting
profiles to produce end products, as well as those producing other lighting
control products.
