Rise from the ashes
Regular
Yes I just came back from my journey. Thought I was going to turn into a cast member from gilligans islandThis link gave me a nice journey through spiking neural network related US patents. All well known names there, Intel, IBM, Qualcomm, Samsung, Arm, Tata. Of course complete absence of Nvidia.
But the most important thing , there are Brainchip assigned patents or applications and some directly to PvdM (and sometimes additional names). So apart from the 8 known Brainchip US patents there are 6 more patent applications up to Peter and friends. Here's the list of Brainchip-free patent applications so far:

This needs a deeper look by technicians how this all works. Maybe this is Peter's safety belt.
over 3 hour tour in a sea of patents.very interested in a couple of patents Mouna Elkhatib is involved in who has a few patents with pete.
I'm wondering if any of these will ever get assigned to brainchip one day.
