"When a company wants to start commercialising drone
technology, the patent landscape can be thought of as a
minefield."
Drone technology has taken to the skies over the past twenty
years in multiple areas—from applications to the
military.
It seems like everyone wants their piece of the skies including
meal delivery companies, insurance agencies, tech companies, and
retailers.
Recently, drones have reshaped modern warfare, as shown in the
war in Ukraine. Rather than risking ground troops for
reconnaissance, drones are sent in their place. Drones can also be
used to identify targets and guide artillery. Ukraine and Russia
are leaning on both robust military drones and even commercial
drones that ordinary consumers can purchase online.
