Since August 2023, Cyngn has been granted eleven additional patents, bringing the total U.S. patents granted to 21. Patent 21 enhances Cyngn's autonomous vehicles' capability to make informed decisions regarding their surroundings.

MENLO PARK, Calif., Oct. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Cyngn Inc. (the "Company" or "Cyngn") (Nasdaq: CYN) announced the official granting of a new patent, 12,039,867. This patent covers the Company's innovative autonomous vehicle (AV) solutions.

This patent introduces a method to enhance the performance of autonomous vehicles (AVs) in real-world environments. AVs use sensors to scan and interpret their surroundings, identifying nearby objects with precision. This method enables AVs to not only detect these objects but also make informed decisions on interacting with them safely, such as navigating around slow-moving barriers, cyclists, and blind spots near large vehicles.

Moreover, the patent outlines a system that integrates these specific driving rules with broader traffic regulations, ensuring that AVs not only navigate safely but also comply with legal requirements on the road. By combining detailed object-specific rules with general traffic laws, this innovation aims to improve the overall safety and efficiency of autonomous driving technology.

"I am pleased with the impressive advancements and speed of innovation our technology team has demonstrated, as this latest patent brings our total number of U.S. patents to 21," said Lior Tal, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Cyngn. "Following the 16 U.S. patents granted in 2023, these patents are the cornerstone of our growth strategy, reflecting our team's dedication and technical expertise."

The grant of this patent marks a significant milestone in Cyngn's intellectual property strategy, further bolstering its position in the AV industry. This success follows Cyngn's recent patent issuance announcement of its 20th patent.

Cyngn provides its customers a seamless way to adopt self-driving technology into their operations without high upfront costs.
