It's a battery for the Pentax (improved) version of the Sigzilla (which has its own battery)

This must to be the battery charger for the new APS-C "flagship" battery !

Only Ricoh branded chargers are BJ chargers. Pentax has a K-BC Charger

O Oh. Could it be for the much awaited mirrorless interchangeable lens camera?

None of the above.
I have reliable information Pentax/Ricoh have invented a new way of erasing images from the SD card. From now on when you wish to purge unwanted images they will be incinerated. I have a leaked image of the new model DSLR where you can clearly see the a pipe where the smoke will be exhausted. The extra power for this requires a new more powerful battery.

Cheers

I understand registering a WiFi device, but why does a battery charger need to be registered?

Seems like a weird thing to be patenting, but I guess someone has to do it.

I think they have info that their batteries are much better than other manufacturers. So, they filed a patent for it. They must have confirmed info that the canikonyfu ninjas will do their best to steal the template.

Not a patent. It is a standards conformation license.

The soon-to-be-announced Pentax Dimensional Portal Generator Accessory is rumored to be a little power hungry.

Pentax Australia recently announced they have the GRII's back in stock. Me thinks they are trying to get rid of stock before the GRIIkmii (lol) gets announced.
