Wireless Lighting Control IP & Litigation - A WTRS ReportWest Technology Research Solutions, LLCDecember 1, 2009 23 Pages - SKU: WTT2513967 |
| 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. |
