Patents

Below is a table of all 40+ of my patents as of December, 2024. All but a few of these are collaborations with other inventors. I have led countless brainstorming sessions that often produce several related concepts and dependent claims being spun into a single patent filing. 

 

Some of these were further split into divisional patents, so technically I might be missing some inventions that the patent offices thought were unique. Several patents are also granted in multiple countries, but are only counted once here.

 

For a complete list with more details and links, you can reference this viewable Google Sheets file.
