VECTOR IP is a deep-tech intellectual-property incubator. We find the physical principle behind a critical gap, file the patents that protect it, 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 — we own the toll gate the winners pay to cross. Risk is diversified across independent megatrends.
Find a critical, defensible gap in a large and growing market.
Protect the underlying physical principle 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.
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.
Modern brakes can stop a wheel's rotation almost instantly. The hard part is stopping the car — and that is decided by the grip between tyre and road. Beyond the grip limit, stronger brakes change nothing.
Stopping distance is governed by the friction between tyre and road — tyre type and temperature, road surface, and above all water. When grip runs out, braking distance grows and control disappears.
During braking, our principle presses the vehicle to the road exactly when it matters most. More downforce means more friction, more braking force — and a way through the water film that causes aquaplaning.
Engineering estimates, now entering validation: braking distance shorter by ~10–15 % on dry roads and 20–30 % in adverse conditions.
And what can't fully stop, hits slower — every km/h shed before impact lowers crash energy, protecting property, health and lives.
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.
Today's robotic battery-swap stations rely on precision sensors and actuators that are costly to build and struggle in wind, rain and snow. Every failed swap means manual intervention — and an idle fleet.
A passive, mechanical stabilization principle captures the drone and enables battery exchange reliably — even in poor weather. Robust by design: no fragile robotics to buy, maintain or heat.
Thirty seconds saved per swap is real, but modest: 1,000 drones flying 20 missions a day gain about ~166 hours a day — roughly 2 % of the ~8,300 hours that same fleet spends in the air.
The value sits elsewhere. Because the capture is mechanical, the station needs no precision sensors or actuators: cheaper to build, unbothered by wind, rain and snow, and it does not send a technician out every time a swap fails.
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.

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.
