Insights
This patent for a recharge system in implantable batteries marks a significant advancement in hearing implant technology. The innovative approach to predicting cumulative thermal dose during charging addresses a critical safety concern in implantable devices. By adjusting current provision to maintain safe temperatures, Envoy Medical has potentially solved a key challenge in long-term implant viability.
This technology could extend battery life and reduce the frequency of surgical interventions for battery replacement, greatly improving patient quality of life. Moreover, it positions Envoy Medical as a leader in implantable hearing solutions, potentially opening doors to applications in other medical fields requiring long-term implants. The patent strengthens the company's competitive edge and could lead to increased market share in the growing hearing health sector.
Envoy Medical's new patent strengthens its intellectual property portfolio, potentially enhancing its market position and valuation. While the immediate financial impact may be , the long-term implications are promising. This technology could:
- Reduce liability risks associated with implant complications
- Increase product differentiation, possibly leading to premium pricing
- Attract partnerships or licensing opportunities
Investors should note that while patents are valuable assets, their true worth lies in successful commercialization. Envoy Medical's ability to translate this innovation into market-ready products and revenue growth will be crucial. The company's NASDAQ listing ("COCH") may see positive sentiment, but substantial financial benefits will likely materialize in the medium to long term as the technology is integrated into product lines.
Growing Portfolio of Patents Further Advances the Company’s Mission to Develop Fully Implanted Devices for Those Suffering from Significant Hearing Loss
WHITE BEAR LAKE, Minnesota, Sept. 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Envoy Medical®, Inc. (“Envoy Medical”) (NASDAQ: “COCH”), a hearing health company focused on fully implanted hearing systems, today announces it has been awarded another patent from the US Patent & Trademark Office for its fully implanted devices. On September 3rd, the Company was issued Patent No. 12,081,061, “Recharge System for Implantable Battery,” which relates to predicting a cumulative thermal dose associated with charging an implantable rechargeable energy storage device to a fully charged state and adjusting the amount of current provided to the device during charging. In other words, this can be used to maintain a safe temperature of an implanted rechargeable battery during recharging.

About the Esteem® Fully Implanted Active Middle Ear Implant (FI-AMEI)
The Esteem fully implanted active middle ear implant (FI-AMEI) is the only FDA-approved, fully implanted* hearing device for adults diagnosed with moderate to severe sensorineural hearing loss allowing for 24/7 hearing capability using the ear’s natural anatomy. The Esteem FI-AMEI hearing implant is invisible and requires no externally worn components and nothing is placed in the ear canal for it to function. Unlike hearing aids, you never put it on or take it off. You can’t lose it. You don’t clean it. The Esteem FI-AMEI hearing implant offers true 24/7 hearing.
*Once activated, the external Esteem FI-AMEI Personal Programmer is not required for daily use.
Important safety information for the Esteem FI-AMEI can be found at: https://www.envoymedical.com/safety-information.
About the Fully Implanted Acclaim® Cochlear Implant
We believe the fully implanted Acclaim Cochlear Implant (“Acclaim CI”) will be a first-of-its-kind fully implanted cochlear implant. Envoy Medical’s fully implanted technology includes a sensor designed to leverage the natural anatomy of the ear instead of a microphone to capture sound.
The Acclaim CI is designed to address severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss that is not adequately addressed by hearing aids. The Acclaim CI is expected to be indicated for adults who have been deemed adequate candidates by a qualified physician.
The Acclaim Cochlear Implant received the Breakthrough Device Designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2019. We believe the Acclaim CI was the first hearing-focused device to receive Breakthrough Device Designation.
CAUTION The fully implanted Acclaim Cochlear Implant is an investigational device. Limited by Federal (or United States) law to investigational use.
