Centurion Patentors as of June 10, 2025

Welcome to June 10, 2025. This week, we aim to celebrate the centurion patentors who have reached noteworthy milestones in their fields.

Shota Aoyagi

Japanese industrial designer who spent years at Apple under Jony Ive, contributing to products like the iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods. In 2023, he joined LoveFrom, where he now works on AI-focused hardware projects.

Patent №:  D1078682 – Headphones.

Patent №:  D1078658 – Cable.

Satoshi Nagata

3GPP TSG-SA – Vice Chair.

Patent №:  12328748 – User terminal and radio communication method.

A user terminal receives multiple measurement signals with different configurations, selects signals based on predefined rules or signaling, and reports results to maintain mobility even with multiple beams or reception points.

Patent №:  12328688 – Terminal for performing access to network by using synchronization signal block. A terminal receives an SSB in a different frequency band, selecting one from multiple SSBs with different indexes sent at the same time or frequency position.

Patent №:  12328274 – Terminal and radio communication method. A terminal selects a TCI-associated reference signal as the BFD-RS when none is configured and uses it to detect link failure effectively.

Carl John Radens

Semiconductor Memory Research and Development.

Patent №: 12328935 – Integrated input output and logic device for nanosheet technology.

This invention integrates input/output and logic devices on nanosheet technology using different FET types—EG for I/O and SG for logic—on a single die to ensure nanosheet alignment, improve device consistency, and save space.

Patent №:  12328859 – Stacked FET SRAM. A semiconductor device includes a stacked FET with two top transistors over one bottom transistor, using gate cut structures to define separate devices and enable compact 6-transistor SRAM design.

Manu Jacob Kurian

SVP, Technology Executive at Bank of America.

Patent №:  12326923 – Artificial intelligence impersonation detector.

A method trains an AI model using human and AI-generated communications to detect impersonation by comparing identifier patterns and determining the source of new messages based on the closest match.

Patent №:  12326836 – Pre-fetch engine with data expiration functionality for mesh data network. A system uses a machine learning-based pre-fetch engine to analyze data requests, retrieve relevant data sets, and perform actions like deletion or blocking if a triggering event is detected.

Lutz Biedermann

German mechanical engineer and inventor whose contributions have significantly advanced spinal fixation and orthopaedic implant technology through innovative coupling and anchoring systems patented and developed via his company in Villingen-Schwenningen.

Patent №: 12324608 – Coupling assembly for coupling a rod to a bone anchoring element, and polyaxial bone anchoring device.

A coupling assembly connects a rod to a bone anchor using a receiver with separate retainer and spring; the spring extends into the rod recess in a first position.
