The filing covers what Cycaltrust describes as a supply chain vulnerability in physical AI such as drones, robots, and autonomous vehicles, where a single counterfeit semiconductor can make an autonomous machine uncontrollable. The system pairs hardware bills of materials with software bills of materials.","whyItMatters":"The patent is a claim on the accountability layer for physical AI: proving that untampered software ran on genuine hardware, which Cycaltrust frames as the barrier to deploying autonomous machines at scale.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe patent decision covers Patent Application No. 2025-519402, filed by Cycaltrust Inc. of Shibuya, Tokyo. The company says the technology connects hardware and software provenance into a single certification, so a system can verify that a specific software build ran on a specific, untampered component.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCycaltrust positions the work against parts counterfeiting, cyberattacks, and geopolitical risk in supply chains. It also points to ISO 26345, an international supply chain security standard using blockchain, as the layer its certification can operate alongside. The company\u0026#39;s existing patent portfolio is listed at more than 40 patents.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Cycaltrust's patent covers a hardware bill of materials paired with a software bill of materials.

For drones, robots, and autonomous vehicles, the risk sits at the seam: a verified chip running unverified firmware still turns a machine into a weapon. Authenticity that stops at the silicon cannot cover that gap.","newsletterBlurb":"Cycaltrust Inc. has obtained a domestic patent decision for technology it says integrates hardware and software authenticity checks, filed as Patent Application No. 2025-519402.
