Sino-Tech Hydrogen has aligned its intellectual property (IP) management with the national standard Enterprise Intellectual Property Management Specification (GB/T 29490-2013). By embedding IP management across R&D, manufacturing, and marketing, the company is systematically building a strong competitive moat for its green hydrogen technologies.

Global IP Layout for the Core Product Matrix

The company integrates IP reviews into every milestone of its Integrated Product Development (IPD) framework, actively filing international PCT patents to secure market access and protection in key regions such as Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific. This covers its core technology portfolios:

lEHYDRO® PCM Series Composite Membranes: Designed with low electrical resistance, high gas isolation, and strong mechanical stability.

lEHYDRO® Coral Series HER Electrodes: Nickel-based alloy electrodes delivering platinum-like electrochemical performance.

lEHYDRO® ANO Series OER Electrodes: Splitting into Ni-Al (ANO-I) and non-activation ceramic technologies (ANO-II).

lEHYDRO® AEM Series Ion Membranes: Full-carbon backbone ion membranes with excellent alkaline stability and high conductivity.

Strategic Synergy and Freedom to Operate (FTO)

By optimizing "Membrane + Electrode" integrated material combinations, Sino-Tech Hydrogen delivers customized solutions for diverse electrolysis scenarios. The company utilizes comprehensive Freedom to Operate (FTO) analyses to systematically de-risk international market expansion and deploys global patent mapping to secure defensive patents in critical sub-sectors like catalyst supports and membrane interface modification.

Moving forward, Sino-Tech Hydrogen will continue to cultivate high-value patent portfolios and advance collaborative R&D ecosystems with universities, research institutes, and supply-chain partners—ensuring seamless technology iteration and global market compliance.
