Clean Tech Leader Aymium Defeats Stora Enso at European Patent Office Boards of Appeal4.4.2025 01:07:00 EEST | Press release

Cleantech leader Aymium defeated a challenge by Stora Enso to one of Aymium's patents (European Patent EP2697185) that provides exclusive rights to produce, sell and use bio-based materials for renewable battery applications. In its written opinion, the Boards of Appeal of the European Patent Office found Stora Enso's arguments brought before the board “not convincing” and agreed that a clarifying amendment to the claims did not extend the scope of protection of the patent. The ruling further affirms Aymium's position as the global leader in biocarbon materials for battery applications. Beyond the present ruling, Aymium owns a portfolio of more than 600 patents relating to biocarbon materials, compositions and manufacturing methods, including many specifically relevant to battery materials, and is the dominant global innovator regarding biocarbon materials. The ruling, combined with Aymium's massive patent portfolio, calls into question the ability of Stora Enso to produce bio-based ba
