Protect the architecture. Explain it precisely.

The REM story is stronger when the intellectual property is presented as a concrete asset—not as a vague claim of uniqueness.

WHAT THE PATENT DESCRIBES

The protectable story is more specific than “a hollow joint.”

The core documents describe a particular modular manipulator architecture and multiple embodiments. That precision should carry through to REM’s marketing language.

Hollow spool member

A central hollow structural element with top and bottom spool ends.

Angled ring / envelope

Rotatable rings connected at an angle to create articulation geometry.

Independent drives

Top and bottom drives act independently to change orientation.

Stacked manipulator

Multiple modules can connect into a longer articulated arm with internal control connections.

DILIGENCE READY

An investor or licensee will ask for more than patent numbers.

Prepare the following documents before opening a formal data room.

Chain of title

Assignments, inventor declarations and current ownership evidence.

Status schedule

Jurisdiction, maintenance/renewal status, expiration and any lapse or limitation.

Claim map

Plain-language explanation of key independent claims and commercial embodiments.

Prior-art context

How REM differs from hollow wrists, rotary joints, wedge mechanisms and other manipulator architectures.

Freedom-to-operate plan

FTO is distinct from patent validity; conduct it for each target product and market.

Licensing policy

Define field-of-use, exclusivity, geography, minimum commitments and improvement rights.
