Filing Our First Patent
by Carlos Lim · Apr 2026
Engineering developed a novel sensor method that outperforms industry baselines by 22%. Legal and R&D are now preparing our first application.
The drafting team is mapping all prior art. Two related filings from 2019 could limit our claim scope, so outside counsel is advising on narrower, defendable language.
Filing costs will run approximately $28,000 across US, EU, and Japan jurisdictions. The return is : defensive coverage against competitors, plus licensing potential.
The submission window closes in nine weeks. The CTO asked all engineers involved to keep clear notebooks — every decision may be evidence later on.
