Leading edge AI on-chip processing and learning developer BrainChip Holdings Ltd (ASX: BRN) has been issued another US patent, strengthening its patent portfolio and further demonstrating the company’s competitive research strength.
The patent is considered by the company to be a valuable IP asset that protects BrainChip’s unique approach for learning on a neuromorphic chip or a system.
Key features of patent:
- The patent protects BrainChip’s neuromorphic processor, which is configured to perform convolutions on digital input data that has been converted into spikes.
- Importantly, the patent broadens the scope of protection already granted to BrainChip in one of its earlier patents, further enhancing the commercial value of the patent.
- Additionally, the patent safeguards the feature of reconfigurability in a neural processor, which can function as either a convolutional neural processor or a fully connected neural processor. This reconfigurability provides a significant advantage, enabling the development of multipurpose and cost-effective hardware designs such as the Akida.
BrainChip’s portfolio now comprises 17 issued patents (12x US, 3x AU, 1xEP, 1xCN). In addition, some 30 patent applications are pending in the US, Europe, Australia, Canada, Japan, Korea, India, Brazil, Russia, Mexico, and Israel.
