Kaspersky Antidrone expertise

The counter-drone system developed by Kaspersky is protected by technology patents in Russia and around the world. The system has won a number of professional awards and is registered with the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media.

The fact that Kaspersky holds technology patents testifies to the uniqueness and innovative nature of its developments and products. It also shows that the company conducts research and is able to adapt to changes in the industry and take on new challenges.

Kaspersky Antidrone holds four patents in Russia, three in Europe and two in the USA. All of them relate to unmanned technologies. There are plans to patent new developments.

Kaspersky Antidrone is registered with the ‘Artificial Intelligence’ label in the Unified Register of Russian Software of the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media of the Russian Federation. This allows organizations that are required to comply with legal requirements and use only Russian solutions to implement this system for detecting and countering UAVs at their enterprises.

The Kaspersky Antidrone project has won a prestigious Aegis Graham Bell Awards in the ‘Innovation in Cyber Security’ category for its innovative solution for monitoring and protecting against drones.  The award was established in memory of the inventor and founder of telecommunications, Alexander Graham Bell. The 13th edition of the awards was supported by the Indian Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology and the Indian government, as well as NITI Aayog and Skill India.

Kaspersky actively protects its intellectual property rights through patents: it has received 231 patents in various countries. In recent years, the focus has been on technologies related to B2B products, including SIEM, machine learning and protection against crypto-ransomware.

The company has been protecting its intellectual property since 2005 and has never lost a patent case. The open source movement is also actively developing: 20 open source projects were released in 2022-2023. Employee training, including a course on patents for technical specialists, plays an important role.

Patents not only protect the company's achievements, but also prevent the misuse of someone else's intellectual property in the organization. Kaspersky also actively responds to litigation, for example, winning a patent dispute with Cybersoft and Webroot in the USA. The company is committed to ensuring a fair resolution of disputes by legally protecting its rights.
