Craig Lim has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Earbuds with electrostatic discharge protection
    Patent number: 9369794
    Abstract: To avoid undesirable electrostatic discharge events while maintaining low leakage currents, earbuds may be provided with controlled electrostatic discharge paths. The discharge paths may include discrete components such as resistors or more distributed resistive components such as resistive elastomers. A resistive elastomer may be incorporated into an interior portion of an earbud between an earbud housing structure and a ground path. A resistive elastomer may also be used in forming an ear bud tip.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 25, 2013
    Date of Patent: June 14, 2016
    Assignee: APPLE INC.
    Inventors: Stanley Rabu, Ida Lo, Victor Tiscareno, Craig Lim, Ramachandran Chundru, Robert Steinfeld, Kurt Stiehl
