Centurion Patentors as of June 3, 2025
Welcome to June 3, 2025. This week, we aim to celebrate the centurion patentors who have reached noteworthy milestones in their fields.
Jonathan P Ive
Jonathan Ive is a renowned British designer best known for his work at Apple Inc., where he served as Chief Design Officer. He played a key role in shaping iconic products such as the iMac, iPod, iPhone, and iPad. After leaving Apple in 2019, he co-founded the design firm LoveFrom.
Patent №: D1077802 – Head-mounted display.
Patent №: D1077780 – Case.
Junyi Li
Vice President of Engineering at Qualcomm. Qualcomm Fellow. IEEE Fellow. Co-founder of Flarion Technologies. A pioneer of OFDMA.
Patent №: 12324034 – Establishing a signaling connection in a wireless network.
A RAN node in dual connectivity mode may route signaling to a secondary gNB via a more reliable master eNB link, using a second signaling connection. IP info and support for this path are exchanged to enable setup.
Patent №: 12323960 – Dynamic quasi co-location mapping for multiple links with assistive communication nodes. Wireless systems may use an assistive node to relay signals between devices, mapping receive and transmit beams with different beamwidths to optimize communication.
Patent №: 12323955 – Dynamic postponement of periodic resources and DRX active times in mode 1 sidelink. This system enables dynamic postponement of periodic downlink receptions. A base station allocates resources and sends postponement signals to two UEs, which adjust their monitoring times. One UE receives the traffic and relays it to the other at the adjusted times.
Sony Akkarakaran
Senior Staff Engineer at Qualcomm.
Patent №: 12324042 – Utilizing sidelink procedures to react to timing source outages.
Techniques enable using sidelink communications during a timing source outage. When a first node loses timing, a nearby third node with valid timing is identified. Relay nodes are selected based on location to restore services to the affected second node.
Patent №: 12324033 – Implicit beam indication. A UE receives beam configurations for candidate PCIs => Network indicates a selected subset => UE applies configurations for the selected PCIs => UE communicates using those beam settings.
Patent №: 12323955 – Dynamic postponement of periodic resources and DRX active times in mode 1 sidelink. A base station allocates periodic resources to two UEs => Sends postponement indications => UEs adjust monitoring times accordingly => First UE receives downlink traffic and relays it to the second UE at the adjusted times.
Mark I Gardner
Gardner earned his B.S. in Physics from the University of Massachusetts Lowell and an M.S. in Physics from the University of Maryland.
His career includes roles at Advanced Micro Devices, Texas Instruments, and Micron, focusing on microelectronics and device engineering.
Currently, Mark serves as a part-time physics professor at Austin Community College.
Patent №: 12324206 – Semiconductor devices and methods of manufacturing thereof.
Form fin with alternating layers => add dummy gate => deposit spacer => dope second layers for S/D => add dielectric => remove dummy gate => remove first layers => fill with metal to form gate.
