Implications: Since this Rod is a different (electronic measuring units) from us, we can freely use ROD as the brand of our website.
Competitor: Draganfly Innovations Inc.
Draganfly deals with UAV search and rescue for disasters
Patents: https://patents.justia.com/assignee/draganfly-innovations-inc
Implications: since Draganfly operates in the same field as us, so all of our engineering solutions should be distinct from any patented solutions owned by the company
Image recognition algorithms: use open-source algorithms such as YOLO
Patent: "Search and reconnaissance method by multiple drones using particle swarm algorithm" https://patents.google.com/patent/KR101908435B1/en
In the path towards our design solution, we will further consider patents dealing in with drone-drone hive communication algorithms, drone search algorithms, and any mechanical drone design patents
