Looks like plenty on here went and voted. I just did and Neuromorphic is now in the lead at 41% beating Battery at 39%

Now at 48% let’s blow the socks of the other options. Reading the comments is quite entertaining as it pretty much all about Neuromorphic. This would be amazing exposure to Brainchip! Go and vote!

Hi Sirod,

This has the potential to speedup the adoption of Akida IP with ARM processors, and we already know how that works with the ARM Cortex microprocessor.

Hi everyone!
Could the NDAs be protecting Brainchip until we have all the patents approved?
Cheers everyone love this group.

Hi Vanman,

I don't think that is the case.

We will be filing new patent applications for years to come.

I think the NDAs are mainly about protecting customer commercial secrets, and that the customers determine when the need for secrecy ends.

Hi @Diogenese
I know it is a long way back now but in 2020 the then CEO Mr. Dinardo stated when answering questions in a webinar that as far as NDA's go they were often requested by Brainchip not the potential customer as they were crucial to Brainchip's plan.

I personally can see two obvious reasons for Brainchip wanting NDA's the first being to protect trade secrets and the second to keep the left hand guessing about what the right hand is up to so that individual potential customers can feel like they are the only ones in the world who have discovered the best kept technology secret.

The filing of new patents is as you point out going to be a continuing part of Brainchip's story but I personally also believe that the use of NDA's will also be ongoing. The current next generation AKIDA will be very tightly wrapped in secrecy as it is rolled out to customers in just the same way as AKIDA 1.0 has been and for the same reasons. Staying years ahead is all about keeping the opposition guessing. This use of NDA's is common place in the tech space to the extent that the CEO of TATA specifically addressed shareholders in 2020 as to why the use of NDA's was critical to TATA's ability to compete with Chinese companies.

Thanks FF,

I agree that there are some reasons for BrainChip to maintain secrecy.

Patent applications are kept confidential by the patent office for a time after filing, usually 18 months, so it would be of some benefit to Brainchip to keep them under wraps for that period, but after that, the patent specification is publicly available, and serious competitors will be monitoring our patent applications.

Any inventive IP we discuss with customers should be covered by a patent application before we start negotiations in order not to invalidate the patent, so an 18 month embargo on disclosure as part of BrainChip's conditions would be useful in order to keep competitors in the dark as long as possible.

I guess that it is also in BrainChip's interest to keep its customer list under wraps to fend off attempts to gazump our business arrangements. Once the customer is fully committed to Akida this becomes less important, eg Mercedes.

But I think that normally the customer would want secrecy to be maintained at least until product launch.

What will be revealed I wonder?

A hypothetical...

1. Let's pretend that at the Merc EQE reveal, they disclose that they are using the same neuromorphic technology that's found in the EQXX
2. Let's pretend that BRN also release their 4C and that it shows some 'interesting' information.

All of this could potentially occur pre-market on Monday the 17th.

That would certainly draw a bit of attention...................

The trouble with Brainchip it is like owning an opaque snow globe that is gaining momentum as it rolls across the world.

We know there is so much beauty and complexity occurring inside but we will never be able or allowed to see the full extent of the complexity and beauty being created.

Microsoft to Create Immersive Tech for Wide Range of Industrial Usage​

16 hours ago by Tolu Ajiboye ·

Software giant Microsoft has created a new team, called Industrial Metaverse Core, to pursue these stated tech goals.
According to reports, Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT) plans to create immersive tech for industrial workers. To actualize this effort, the tech giant has set up a new internal team known as Industrial Metaverse Core. The company reportedly revealed the new team internally last week.

Upcoming Microsoft Industrial Tech to Leverage Metaverse Possibilities​

By harnessing the power of the metaverse, Microsoft seeks to enhance the core operability of industrial work via immersive tech. These immersive software interfaces cover varying functionalities, including industrial robotics and control systems for electrical plants. In addition, Microsoft also opines that an industrial work-focused virtual world will prove useful in monitoring machines and factory environments. This suggests its usage by aircraft mechanics in examining jet engines in a simulated software environment. Aviation mechanics will reportedly be able to assess the machinery using artificial reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR) headsets.
In addition, Microsoft’s upcoming industrial offering also extends to transportation networks and includes tech built by Bonsai, a low-code artificial intelligence (AI) service acquired by the multinational technology corporation in 2018. At the time of Bonsai’s acquisition, Microsoft’s corporate vice president and head of autonomous systems, Gurdeep Pall, said it would be deployed onto the company’s Azure public cloud. The subsequent development of Azure’s services makes it possible for industrial engineers to merge AI with industrial equipment and processes. Furthermore, this merge is possible regardless of the engineer’s software experience.

Microsoft Partners with Mercedes Benz on Improved Vehicle Production​

Microsoft has teamed up with Mercedes-Benz to enhance vehicle production. According to reports, Microsoft’s Cloud will connect with the German automaker’s newly-introduced MO360 Data Platform to improve vehicle-production efficiency, sustainability, and resilience. In addition, Mercedes’ 30-passenger car plants will also link to the Washington-based software giant’s Cloud service.
Speaking on the collaboration, Joerg Burzer, a member of the Board of Management of Mercedes-Benz Group AG, Production & Supply Chain Management, noted:

“This new partnership between Microsoft and Mercedes-Benz will make our global production network more intelligent, sustainable and resilient in an era of increased geopolitical and macroeconomic challenges. The ability to predict and prevent problems in production and logistics will become a key competitive advantage as we go all electric.”

Furthermore, Mercedes-Benz’s Chief Information Officer, Jan Brecht, also provided some exposition on the MO360’s operability, saying:

“With the MO360 data platform, we democratize technology and data in manufacturing. As we are moving toward a 100% digital enterprise, data is becoming everyone’s business at Mercedes-Benz. Our colleagues on the shop floor have access to production and management-related real-time data. They are able to work with drill-down dashboards and make data-based decisions.”

According to Mercedes-Benz, the MO360 Data Platform would help to create a virtual replica of its vehicle manufacturing process.
The new Mercedes-Benz Digital Factory Campus Berlin currently serves as a base for this Data Platform.
