VECTOR IP is a deep-tech intellectual-property incubator. We develop technical solutions for critical points in transport and logistics, file patents on them and license them to the manufacturers who build on top.
Where we stand. Braking: European patent application filed with the EPO on 17 August 2026; the twelve-month priority window for international extension is running. Drones: specification in preparation. Freedom-to-Operate and simulation are the next milestones. Nothing on this page is a granted patent — these are pending applications.
Asset-light by design: no factories, no production risk. We don't bet on who wins the market — our solutions work for every manufacturer. Risk is diversified across independent megatrends.
We know which parts and processes hold a market back — costly, fragile, inefficient. That's our target.
Protect the solution with patents before the market reacts.
Prove the concept and de-risk it toward real-world deployment.
License to global manufacturers — OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers.
Modern brakes stop the wheel almost instantly. Stopping the car is decided by tyre-road grip - and past its limit, stronger brakes change nothing.
Stopping distance is set by tyre-road friction - tyre type, surface, and above all water. When grip runs out, distance grows and control fades.
During braking our principle presses the car onto the road when it matters most - more downforce, more friction, a way through aquaplaning.
Engineering estimate before validation: distance shorter by ~10–15 % on dry, 20–30 % in adverse conditions. What can't fully stop hits slower - every km/h shed lowers crash energy.
Safety technologies follow a familiar trajectory: innovation → differentiation → standard equipment. We design for that path.
Delivery drones fly roughly 20–30 minutes per charge. The bottleneck isn't flying — it's what happens on the ground, at scale, in real weather.
Robotic battery-swap stations rely on precision sensors - costly to build and unreliable in rain and snow. A failed swap means manual work.
A passive mechanical principle captures the drone and swaps the battery reliably, even in poor weather. No fragile robotics to buy or maintain.
Thirty seconds saved per swap is real but modest: 1,000 drones gain ~166 hours a day, ~2 % of the 8,300 flown. The real value - mechanical capture needs no precision sensors: cheaper and weatherproof.
The highest value isn't created at the hardware level — it's created at the level of global standards. That is where we operate.
Claims broad enough that the principle cannot simply be designed around — and a Freedom-to-Operate study confirming we may use it ourselves.
A licence from an OEM or a Tier-1 supplier, after independent validation on their terms. That decision is theirs to make, and it is slow.
Patents, simulation and prototypes are paid for years before the first royalty arrives. The capital in between is the risk we actually manage.
A licensing model carries a high gross margin by construction — no factories, no inventory. That is the definition of the model, not evidence that it works. These three conditions decide it.
Early deep tech is about verifying the biggest risks first — cheaply, and in sequence. We know what we are validating, in what order, and why.
File and expand key patent families; secure Freedom to Operate.
Digital-twin verification of the physics and boundary conditions.
Functional mechanics — weight, response time, repeatability.
Real-world trials across surfaces and conditions; expert reviews (TÜV).
Proof of Technical & Licence Concept — first OEM / Tier-1 partnerships.
The same system, repeated: a big problem → strong IP protection → validation → global potential → a strong team.
A prolific inventor with dozens of granted patents across global jurisdictions and a rare gift for mechanical engineering. Both pillars grow from the same instinct: mastering forces — vectors — with elegant mechanics.
Builds patents to hold up from the perspective of global corporations; his clients have included LG, Boeing and Fujitsu-Siemens. Former senior technology executive — and an inventor in his own right.
Turns physics into measurable hardware. Led the electronics for the first UAV to enter service with the Czech Army, then built test rigs for ABS and ESP units, power-steering boosters and EV charging circuits for Škoda Auto. Mechanics and electronics under one roof, from design to small series.
Business development, AI, nuclear physics. Author of Homo APIens. First investor and co-builder of ventures that reached the market — StimVia and BattSwap.
Who owns what: every patent application is filed in the name of VECTOR IP s.r.o., and the inventors assign their rights to the company by written contract before filing. The company is Czech (VECTOR IP s.r.o., ID No. 245 58 893, Prague), its ownership is a matter of public record, and the filings can be checked in the patent registers.
The foundations of autonomy shouldn't be built twice.
