Celgard Sues LG Over Battery Separator

Celgard has filed a lawsuit against South Korea-based LG Chem alleging infringement of patents on its ceramic separators for lithium-ion batteries.

LG recently said it received patents in Europe and Japan on its own battery separator technology, complementing earlier patents in the U.S., South Korea, and China.
