Under this agreement, Miele will be able to produce and sell robot cleaners using LG Electronics' patented technology. This contract deals with three of LG's independent technologies, such as the ‘charging induction guide' and etc. adopted by LG Electronics for robot cleaners.
The
Charge Induction Guide is a technology that allows the robot cleaner to return
to the charging dock after cleaning to wait for the next cleaning. Most
robot cleaners return to the charging dock following an infrared induction
signal. LG Electronics' patent uses a partition structure to block infrared
rays from other directions so that infrared rays can extend straight. The robot
cleaner applied with this technology can detect the infrared signal that
extends straight in a straight line and reach the charging dock accurately.

In addition to the charging induction guide, LG Electronics has also allowed Miele to use patents such as the detection structure of the filter attached to the dust container and the combination structure of the lower brush. LG Electronics has more than 700 registered patents related to robot cleaners on a global standard.
Earlier, in June of last year, LG Electronics
signed a patent license agreement with GE Appliances regarding the technology
of ice making room on a refrigerating door, which is the core patent of the ice
water purifier refrigerator as a premium refrigerator. The license agreement
with Miele has allowed LG Electronics to be recognized for its advanced patent
competitiveness in the field of household appliances in Europe after the United
States.
“LG
Electronics is actively securing intellectual property rights, the driving
force behind the global consumer electronics market,” said Jeon Sang-gyu, vice
president of LG Electronics' patent center.
