Summary¹
The most cited patents of 2023 in the field of Transport indicate R&D focus on the development of autonomous vehicles, Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) technologies, electrification, connected technologies, and the increasing integration of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) into various applications.

Autonomous Vehicles: A significant portion of the top cited patents focuses on autonomous vehicle technology, particularly in the areas of navigation, safety, and human-machine interaction.

  • US Patent No. 10324463 ("Autonomous vehicle operation adjustment based upon route") by Konrardy et al. and US Patent No. 10671076 ("Trajectory prediction of third-party objects using temporal logic and tree search") by Kobilarov et al. highlight the crucial role of advanced algorithms and sensor fusion in enabling safe and efficient autonomous navigation, and route optimization and real-time decision-making for safe and efficient autonomous navigation in complex environments.

  • US Patent No. 10946741 ("Autonomous vehicle including foldable accelerator pedal device and foldable brake pedal device") by Kim et al., US Patent No. 10906514 ("Foldable brake pedal apparatus for autonomous vehicle") by Kim et al., and US Patent No. 11021058 ("Foldable accelerator pedal apparatus equipped with hysteresis module for vehicle") by Kim et al. demonstrate the need for innovative vehicle design to accommodate the unique requirements of autonomous driving systems.
Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS):
  • US Patent No. 6690268 ("Video mirror systems incorporating an accessory module") by Schofield et al., US Patent No. 5550677 ("Automatic rearview mirror system using a photosensor array") by Schofield et al., and US Patent No. 5670935 ("Rearview vision system for vehicle including panoramic view") by Schofield et al. highlight the growing importance of advanced camera systems for enhancing driver visibility and safety, and advanced driver-assistance systems, such as blind spot detection and lane departure warning systems.

  • US Patent No. 5949331 ("Display enhancements for vehicle vision system") by Schofield et al. and US Patent No. 7720580 ("Object detection system for vehicle") by Higgins-Luthman demonstrate the importance of improved driver displays and advanced object detection algorithms for enhanced safety and situational awareness.
Drone Technology and Logistics:
  • US Patent No. 9387928 ("Multi-use UAV docking station systems and methods") by Gentry et al. and US Patent No. 9056676 ("Systems and methods for UAV docking") by Wang highlight the need for efficient and reliable infrastructure to support the operation and maintenance of UAVs, and drone infrastructure and autonomous drone operations for applications such as delivery and logistics.

1. The Summary was generated by Gemini (https://gemini.google.com/) after a brief chat about patent citations using a prompt generally as follows: 'Assume you are a person of ordinary skill in the art in the field of: [WIPO field]. Write a short article. Topic: an industry cheerleading informative overview of the most cited patents by patents issued in 2023 in that field. Use the list of patents below, which list includes the US patent number, title, and inventors of the most cited patents by patents issued in 2023 in that field. Include inventor names, patent numbers and patent titles to support the positions and statements made in the memo. Assume these most cited patents teach and disclose foundational knowledge and thus indicate areas receiving the most attention in this field in 2023. Include hashtag terms that are pertinent and will target decision makers in the market to buy attorney IP services.' followed by the list of patents relating to that WIPO field. (The list of patents had been previously generated through other means.) Gemini's output was edited, removing redundant content and topics outside the scope. As such, the statements in the Summary do not necessarily reflect my own views, and are NOT intended as legal, financial, or any other type of advice.
