Thermal storage’s only whitespace is the data center

Antora’s $550 million round landed in a patent field 54,623 families deep and about fifty years old. The only part of it still bending is thermal storage tied to data centers.

The orbital service layer is becoming the real space race

The orbital service layer spans space awareness, rendezvous, servicing, and in-space assembly. A patent landscape shows where the technical and IP positions are forming.

Stacked bar chart titled AI times Cybersecurity: Patent Filings Per Year, 7,043 total patents from 2018 to 2025, split into AI-Assisted (blue) and AI-Autonomous (green). Filings climb sharply each year, and in 2025 AI-Autonomous exceeds AI-Assisted for the first time at roughly 2,000 filings.

AI Cybersecurity Patents Are a Blueprint for Agentic Security

Over 7,000 AI cybersecurity patents filed since 2018, and in 2025 autonomous systems overtook human-in-the-loop. The agentic blueprint already exists.

Donut chart titled AI-Assisted Medical Imaging Patents by Diagnostic Scope 2020 to 2025, total 4,516 patents. Single-Disease Detection 94.7%, Multi-Disease Detection 5.0%, and Cross-Diagnostic Inference just 0.4%, only 16 patents in six years.

Cross-Diagnostic Inference Patents Are Diagnostic AI’s Open White Space

AI can spot heart disease in a mammogram, but cross-diagnostic inference patents are under 1% of AI medical imaging filings, a wide-open white space.

Stacked bar chart titled AI Cancer Diagnostics Patents: Who Owns the Landscape, published patent documents per year 2020 to 2026 stacked by assignee (Grail, Tempus AI, Siemens, Guardant Health, Google/DeepMind, IBM), with separate green bars for Nvidia's broader medical AI patents. A callout notes Nvidia filed 0 cancer-specific patents but holds 185 medical AI patents, and marks the Nvidia-Droplet partnership in March 2026.

Cross-Domain AI Patents Are a Hidden FTO Risk in Medtech

Cross-domain AI patents are a rising freedom-to-operate risk in medtech. Nvidia holds 185 medical AI patents, none cancer-specific, yet many overlap.

Horizontal bar chart titled Reusable Launch Vehicle IP: Who Owns the Claims, patent publications in propulsion, recovery and staging from 2018 to 2026. ArianeGroup 312, Blue Origin 110, Stoke Space 41, Radian Aerospace 15, Rocket Lab 11, Isar Aerospace 9, SpaceX 1, PLD Space 0 filings.
