Abstract
Example data on IP related to SmallSat and automation technologies. About 38% of all patent application filings on SmallSats are in the U.S. – with about a 4X increase in U.S. filings in the last decade – followed by China (19%), Japan (10%), and Germany (9%). Universities leading in SmallSat filings are overwhelmingly in China and the U.S. The number of U.S. patent applications filed on "AI" and "SmallSats" roughly tripled from about 2013-2023. Patents and other IP rights are double-edged swords for technologies, both providing the right to prevent unauthorized use of your innovations while imposing responsibilities to avoid such rights of third parties.
