USPTO Selects small TX drone dock company as a Featured Innovator for America’s Next 250 Years
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has selected GALE Project, a small Texas autonomous drone infrastructure startup, to participate in its “First U.S. Patent: The Next 250 Years of American Innovation” event on August 4.
GALE Project has patented and is building the first modular drone dock for layered infrastructure to support public safety and beyond. These docking nodes replace ground-based systems by mounting on top of current utilities, where it matters most, away from flood risk and more!
Small business innovation out to make a global impact.
CEO Jay Kriner will join to discuss the future of American innovation, patents, AI, robotics, drones, and space technologies as part of the USPTO’s America 250 celebration. This virtual event is hosted by the USPTO and is open to the public.
