  2. Patent Liability Analysis Overview: Patents: • Autonomous weapon system implementation • Weapons identification and firing safeties mechanism Product: • Paintball Sentry

  3. Patent on Autonomous Weapon System

  4. Patent on Autonomous Weapon System Similarities: • Autonomous • Acquires images and performs target recognition • Aims the weapon at the target Potential Liability: Moderate • Our implementation is different in that it will require users to set the gun into a semi-autonomous state temporarily. • The weapon, when enabled, will only fire one time without further user control.

  5. Patent on Weapon Firing Safeties

  6. Patent on Weapon Firing Safeties Similarities: • Exchanges an identification code (PIN in our case) • Enables a weapon Potential Liability: Minimal • Our implementation is different in that the identification code is more of a password than an identification of the weapon type. • So long as we do not choose to associate different codes to unlock different weapons, the potential for infringement is low.

  7. Paintball Sentry Product • Commercial product (non-military) • Performs many functions similar to our product. • Image recognition and targeting • Rotation of firing barrel • Computer interface • Manufacturer was contacted, but not particularly concerned with patent liability.
