Licensing & acquisition
License the position,
or acquire it.
Four issued United States patents covering autonomous vehicle surface treatment, vehicle lighting, service-centre orchestration and dermatological imaging — together with the control software that implements them, and the inventor.
Structures
Four ways to take a position. Which fits depends on whether you want permission to practise or the asset itself.
Evaluation licence
A time-boxed licence to run the control software against your own process and decide whether it does what you need. Source access to the modules under evaluation, and the patent-claim acceptance harness so your engineers can run the checks themselves rather than take ours.
Time-boxed · Your hardware or simulation · Engineer-to-engineer
Field-of-use licence
A licence limited to a defined application — a vehicle surface treatment, a lighting operation, a service-centre deployment. The field is drawn around what you actually do, which keeps the grant narrow enough to price and broad enough to be worth having.
Defined field · Territory by agreement · Renewable
Exclusive licence
Exclusivity within a field of use, a territory, or both. This is the structure for a party that intends to build a business on the position rather than protect an existing one.
Exclusive in field · Milestones by agreement · Longest term
Acquisition
Outright assignment of the patents. A buyer acquires the asset itself rather than permission to practise it, and diligence is correspondingly deeper: chain of title, encumbrances and the full family position are established from USPTO and counsel records before anything closes.

What comes with it
Inventor involvement
The inventor is available to the licensee — remotely as standard, and on site anywhere in the United States where it is useful. Technology this specific transfers faster in a room than in a document.
The software, not just the paper
A licence can include the control platform: the modules, the test suite and the acceptance harness. What is implemented and what is not is documented honestly, per claim element.
Engineering handover
Architecture walkthroughs, the claim-to-code mapping, and the hardware-in-the-loop path — the stage a licensee or development partner would enter at.

Why United States rights
What is on offer is a United States position — four issued US patents with roughly nineteen years of term remaining and no maintenance fee yet due.
The jurisdiction you operate in
A party running robotic vehicle surface treatment, lighting service or a fleet-orchestrated service centre in the United States needs United States rights. That is the whole of the question for anyone whose vehicles, bays and customers are here.
A question closed rather than carried
Acquiring the portfolio settles whether a US operation reads on these claims, instead of leaving it open while a programme scales. The claims, their structure and the software written against them are published in full on this site so that question can be examined before any conversation about terms.
What you would be evaluating
Stated plainly, because it is the first thing a serious counterparty establishes anyway.
