This report provides the industry's only comprehensive and independent analysis of IP and Patent activity in the Residential Wireless Control Network sector.
The typical inhibitors of the adoption of Home Control and Automation technologies are identified as low reliability, high cost, difficult installation and use, as well as the absence of an easily identifiable end customer value proposition. A previously unidentified risk to technology adoption is the control of key intellectual property assets covering RF-only solutions by the Lutron Corporation.
- This report exposes the risk of aggressive litigation and IP protection strategies on the adoption of RF-only home control, or residential Wireless Sensor Network, technologies.
- The issues surrounding patent protection activities of key players in this market become critical to the success of any one implementation of networking technology.
- Using only publicly available information, meticulously gathered from public patent sources, filing information, and court activities, this report is truly an invaluable resource for any company participating in the Home Control and Automation Market, or planning a potential entry into this market.
