A Breakthrough Collaboration: AI Data Inc. and Legal Tech Co.

In a significant advancement for the robotics sector, AI Data Inc. (based in Tokyo) and Legal Tech Co. have jointly launched an integrated platform named "AI Robotics on IDX × Tokkyo.Ai." This innovative collaboration aims to support the visualization and valuation of intellectual property (IP) related to robot development and operations.

Background of the Platform

As robotic technologies become increasingly sophisticated, the expertise accumulated within development environments is often personalized and not managed as corporate assets. Furthermore, many advanced control techniques and operational insights fail to be registered as intellectual property, limiting external deployment and monetization opportunities. With the rising need to substantiate the value of technology to investors and clients, there is a pressing demand for a platform that can effectively visualize IP and manage it in conjunction with technical data.

The two companies are responding to this challenge by creating an IP-driven data strategy that integrates Generative AI with IP management, providing a supportive environment for visualizing and valuing robot technologies.

Identified Challenges

• - Personalized Knowledge: The knowledge remains individualized, hindering reuse and sharing.
• - Lack of IP Registration: Many technologies are not converted into IP, making external ventures and commercialization challenging.
• - Documentation Burden: Significant effort is required to create materials that explain technological value to investors and customers.
• - Data Management Gaps: There is a lack of organization in storing necessary data for technology evaluation and due diligence processes.

Solution Overview

AI Robotics on IDX

The platform aims to integrate and structure R&D data from robots, systematically organizing technical insights related to movement, control, and design.

Tokkyo.Ai

It will assist in patenting extracted technological elements and create IP templates, enhancing their reusability.

VDR (Evidence Management)

The platform will securely maintain traceability data that serves as technical validation. This allows for centralized management of information necessary for IP valuation and verification.

SaaS License Feature

Templates tailored for various industries will be offered as a SaaS, ensuring easier access for companies seeking required IP.

Technical Evaluation Data Room

A secure data room capable of safely sharing technical information will be made available, focusing on preventing contamination and providing an evaluation environment for M&A, fundraising, and technical due diligence.

Key Features and Value Propositions

• - IP Visualization: Transforming abstract control logic and design philosophies into clear templates, facilitating understanding of the technology.
• - IP Valuation: Registered and managed templates will be provided as SaaS licenses, simplifying the explanation of ROI and business viability.
• - Reuse and Deployment: Defined industry templates enable technology sharing across sectors, converting individually dependent expertise into shared corporate assets.

Potential Use Cases

• - Manufacturing: Deploying safety control templates for collaborative robots across multiple lines.
• - Warehousing and Logistics: Sharing operation patterns for conveyance and inventory robots among various locations.
• - Healthcare: Licensing patent templates for patrolling and assistive robots based on accumulated operational insights.

Future Developments

AI Data Inc. and Legal Tech Co. plan to strengthen collaborations with local manufacturers, startups, and academic institutions to promote the stockpiling of domestic robot IP. They envision building a comprehensive IP ecosystem with overseas provision opportunities. By supporting practical levels of IP visualization and valuation, they aim to broaden the uses of robot IP, ultimately empowering the industry.
