THE US Patent Office has granted Drone Delivery Canada (DDC) a patent related to the company's drone delivery technology and processes for managing access to one or more unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) zones, reports London's Air Cargo News.
'As we further commercialise the business and our solution, technological innovation is a key foundational component and we continue to grow our intellectual property portfolio,' said Drone Delivery Canada CEO Michael Zahra.
The patent's one or more uav zones can include a landing zone, a loading zone and/or a take-off zone, as well as battery charging zones for charging the UAV.
The patent further relates to controlling access to the UAV zones in collaboration with a flight management system that is responsive to requests by users to allow access to a selected UAV zone.
A corresponding Canadian application remains pending in this case. DDC is currently seeking patent protection for other aspects of its technology.
