Todd N Hathaway, Attorney at Law, PS The office of Todd N. Hathaway, PS, an Intellectual Property (IP) law firm has served clients locally, nationally and internationally for over 25 years. Mr.

Todd was honored to serve clients with their IP needs. He has now retired as of May 31, 2020. Todd Hathaway is a native Washingtonian who has lived and practiced law in the state for the majority of his life. He served in the United States Navy, primarily in engineering and weapons assignments, and is retired from the U.S. Naval Reserve. Following graduation from law school, his first employment w

as with the production and research branch of a major oil company in Texas, where in addition to intellectual property work he was also responsible for matters of environmental and maritime law. He subsequently worked four years in private practice focusing on patent and trademark law before establishing his own office, where he has been in practice for over twenty years. The majority of his work is in mechanical, electrical and chemical technologies. Hathaway’s engineering and technical background in the Navy and degree in chemistry give him the expertise to represent clients in a host of industries. His work includes representing and obtaining patents for clients in energy, mechanical, medical, biomedical, recreational and construction technologies. We have also registered, licensed and litigated for diverse trademarks both here and throughout Europe and Canada.

BREAKING NEWS
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2019 Nobel Prize in Chemistry to John B. Goodenough, M. Stanley Whittingham and Akira Yoshino “for the development of lithium-ion batteries.”

Lithium-ion batteries are used globally to power the portable electronics that we use to communicate, work, study, listen to music and search for knowledge. Lithium-ion batteries have also enabled the development of long-range electric cars and the storage of energy from renewable sources, such as solar and wind power.

The foundation of the lithium-ion battery was laid during the oil crisis in the 1970s. Stanley Whittingham worked on developing methods that could lead to fossil fuel-free energy technologies. He started to research superconductors and discovered an extremely energy-rich material, which he used to create an innovative cathode in a lithium battery. This was made from titanium disulphide which, at a molecular level, has spaces that can house – intercalate – lithium ions.

The battery’s anode was partially made from metallic lithium, which has a strong drive to release electrons. This resulted in a battery that literally had great potential, just over two volts. However, metallic lithium is reactive and the battery was too explosive to be viable.

John Goodenough predicted that the cathode would have even greater potential if it was made using a metal oxide instead of a metal sulphide. After a systematic search, in 1980 he demonstrated that cobalt oxide with intercalated lithium ions can produce as much as four volts. This was an important breakthrough and would lead to much more powerful batteries.

With Goodenough’s cathode as a basis, Akira Yoshino created the first commercially viable lithium-ion battery in 1985. Rather than using reactive lithium in the anode, he used petroleum coke, a carbon material that, like the cathode’s cobalt oxide, can intercalate lithium ions.

The result was a lightweight, hardwearing battery that could be charged hundreds of times before its performance deteriorated. The advantage of lithium-ion batteries is that they are not based upon chemical reactions that break down the electrodes, but upon lithium ions flowing back and forth between the anode and cathode.

Lithium-ion batteries have revolutionised our lives since they first entered the market in 1991. They have laid the foundation of a wireless, fossil fuel-free society, and are of the greatest benefit to humankind.
