Safe Pro Group Inc., a leader in AI-powered defense and security solutions, has announced the expansion of patent protection for its AI-powered computer vision technology designed to detect small explosive threats in drone-based video and imagery. The company has received notice of official publication of its international patent applications in Australia, Israel, and the European region, advancing its global intellectual property protection strategy and enhancing shareholder value.
Title: Safe Pro Group Expands Patent Protection for AI Explosive Detection Technology
Safe Pro Group Inc. (Nasdaq: SPAI), a leader in AI-powered defense and security solutions, has announced the expansion of its patent protection for its AI-powered computer vision technology designed to detect small explosive threats in drone-based video and imagery. The company has received notice of official publication of its international patent applications in Australia, Israel, and the European region, advancing its global intellectual property (IP) protection strategy and enhancing shareholder value [1].
The patented technology, Safe Pro Object Threat Detection (SPOTD), can identify over 150 different types of explosive threats. The company has already analyzed over 1.78 million battlefield images from Ukraine, detecting 31,600+ real-world explosive threats across 7,819 hectares. The US Patent No. 12,146,729, valid until 2043, includes 21 claims covering autonomous detection of explosives using AI processing of drone imagery [1].
Safe Pro Group has expanded protection to 47 jurisdictions through the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT), including key defense technology markets. This move strengthens the company's IP moat, which not only protects its current technology but also provides leverage for potential licensing agreements, strategic partnerships, or acquisition discussions. The dual deployment capability (edge-based real-time or AWS cloud-based) further enhances the commercial flexibility of the protected technology [1].
The timing of this IP expansion appears strategically aligned with geopolitical shifts, as multiple NATO nations are considering withdrawal from the 1997 Landmine Convention. The company's technology addresses both military applications and humanitarian demining needs across the nearly 60 countries impacted by landmines, creating a substantial addressable market [1].
Safe Pro Group's international patent publications in Australia, Israel, and Europe represent a significant strategic IP expansion beyond its existing US Patent No. 12,146,729. This methodical internationalization creates substantial barriers to entry and establishes warning notices to potential competitors about infringement liabilities [1].
