Every patent we've covered
All Big Tech patents
Every newly published filing from Apple, Google, Microsoft, Meta, Nvidia, Tesla, OpenAI, and Amazon — broken down in plain English. Sorted by publication date, newest first.
Nvidia Patents a Self-Curating Synthetic Data Loop for Stereo Vision Models
Training a depth-sensing AI normally requires mountains of carefully labeled real-world images — a slow, expensive process. Nvidia's new patent describes a…
Nvidia Patents a Priority-Aware CAN Bus Authentication System for Autonomous Vehicles
Every sensor reading, brake command, and steering input in an autonomous vehicle travels over a CAN bus — a decades-old network protocol…
Nvidia Patents a Pipeline for Building 3D Digital Humans From Everyday 2D Photos
Training a 3D digital human model normally requires expensive, controlled capture setups — but Nvidia's new patent describes a way to do…
Nvidia Patents a Memory-Driven 3D Scene Reconstruction System for Self-Driving Cars
What if your self-driving car could remember what a street looked like last Tuesday — and use that memory to fill in…
Tesla Patents a Parallel 2D Matrix Processor for Accelerated AI Image Math
Tesla is patenting the math engine at the heart of neural network image processing — a two-dimensional matrix processor designed to run…
Haptic Buttons That Calibrate Themselves Could Replace Traditional Car Controls
Tesla has patented a haptic control system where the same motor that gives you tactile feedback can also turn around and test…
Zoox Patents a System Where Robo-Taxis Cross-Check Each Other's Position
What if two self-driving cars could look at each other, compare notes on where they think they are, and use that conversation…
Zoox Patents a Two-Stage Object Path Predictor for Autonomous Vehicles
Predicting where a pedestrian will walk is hard enough — predicting exactly when they'll be at each step is even harder. Zoox's…
Amazon Patents a Real-Time Streaming Content Moderation System for AI Outputs
Amazon is patenting a way to screen AI-generated text for harmful content on the fly — in chunks, as it streams —…
