Safe Pro Group (NASDAQ: SPAI), a provider of AI-powered security and threat detection solutions, is making strides in its intellectual property strategy by expanding international patent protections for its SpotlightAI(TM) technology. This AI-powered explosives detection system has already processed over 1.78 million drone images in Ukraine, identifying more than 31,600 explosive threats. The company's U.S. patent, valid until 2043, is now being extended to 47 jurisdictions, including Australia, Israel, and the European region, as indicated by recent publication notices under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (https://ibn.fm/HjwrB).
The expansion of patent protections is a critical move for Safe Pro Group, as it not only secures the company's technological advancements but also places competitors on notice regarding potential infringement claims. Chairman and CEO Dan Erdberg emphasized that this strategy is aimed at bolstering long-term shareholder value, especially in light of the escalating global landmine crisis. The company's technology is set to participate in two events of the U.S. Army's 2026 Concept Focused Warfighter Experiment (CFWE), further validating its military applications.
With the Senate advancing an additional $617 million in potential funding for small unmanned aircraft systems, a category that includes Safe Pro's technology, the company is well-positioned to capitalize on growing demand in both defense and humanitarian sectors. This development underscores the importance of innovative solutions in addressing global security challenges and the potential for AI to transform threat detection and demining efforts worldwide.
