Innovation

Writers don't file patents.

I filed twelve.

The first one: Webex Orbit

US 11,729,584 — Granted August 2023

Conceived September 2019 inside Cisco's Innovate Everywhere contest. The question was simple: what if location-aware services could appear automatically when you walked into a place, then disappear when you left?

No app downloads. No login. Just the right experience, in the right context, for as long as you were there.

I designed the system architecture, wrote the disclosure, did the UX, named it. Engaged Apple Clips as prior art on page three. Filed September 2020. Granted as US 11,729,584 in August 2023.

The system architecture: from concept (Win-Win overlap) to use case (Walmart) to engineering (technical flow) to vision (multiple venues).

Eight provisional patents filed in 2025. Same pattern as Cisco: question first, system second, patent third.

  • Agents need context. Humans need to know what the agent knows.
    Context Scaffolding System for Facilitating Agentic Software Development
  • Narrative units you can add, subtract, compare, and transform.
    Composable Narrative Unit Architecture and Algebraic Operations on Narrative Graphs
  • Agents write code faster than humans can understand it. Behavioral contracts bridge the gap.
    Runtime Log-Driven Architectural Animation and Behavioral Validation of Software Systems
  • You declared what should happen. Did it actually happen?
    Intent-First Telemetry Validation with Production-to-Development Feedback Loops

Plus four more in architectural supervision, documentation synchronization, context coordination, and repository understanding.

A patent is a brief with a longer deadline. A startup is a brief you wrote yourself.
