USPTO granted Patent No. US12592448B2 to LG Energy Solution, Ltd. for a battery module design that safely manages gas discharge while preventing flame leakage. The invention includes a battery cell stack housed in a case with a first discharge hole, an exhaust path member communicating with the discharge hole to provide a safe gas discharge path, and a cover with a second discharge hole for final gas release. The patent was filed November 16, 2021, under Application No. 17922811, with 15 claims covering the integrated safety venting system.

This is a patent grant notice, not a regulatory requirement. No compliance action is required from companies. However, manufacturers of battery modules and electric vehicles should be aware that LG Energy Solution now holds intellectual property rights covering this gas discharge and flame prevention architecture, which may be relevant to product development and licensing discussions.
