Centurion Patentors as of August 5, 2025
Welcome to August 5, 2025. This week, we aim to celebrate the centurion patentors who have reached noteworthy milestones in their fields.

Daniele De Iuliis
Industrial designer.
Best known for his 27-year career at Apple, where he helped shape some of the world’s most iconic products, from the iMac to the iPhone.
Today, he’s bringing that same design excellence to healthcare. As Design Director at Occuity, he’s focused on developing cutting-edge, non-invasive medical devices—like a handheld glucose monitor that can scan the eye without drawing blood.

Patent №: D1087095 – Stylus.

Patent №: D1087080 – Electronic device.

Patent №: D1086925 – Band.

Matthew Dean Rohrbach
Another legend from Apple’s Industrial Design team, Matt Rohrbach spent 17 years helping shape the future of personal electronics.
Since leaving Apple in 2015, he’s pursued his passion for craft and creation—splitting time between San Francisco and Iceland.
A coffee lover and master craftsman, he now brings his design wisdom to Weber Workshops.

Patent №: D1087095 – Stylus.

Patent №: D1087080 – Electronic device.

Patent №: D1086925 – Band.

Dawei Zhang
Wireless Professional.
Patent №: 12382507 – Enhancements for reduced capability new radio devices.

A user device (UE) sends a reduced capability (RedCap) indication to the base station during random access, based on a configuration with simplified features.

Patent №: 12382347 – Technologies for synchronization signaling during handovers.
This application relates to apparatuses, systems, and methods for providing synchronization signaling technologies during handovers.

Alberto Rico Alvarino
Director, Technical Standards at Qualcomm.
Patent №: 12382487 – Sounding reference signal triggering for enhanced carrier aggregation.

Wireless communication methods where a UE receives a carrier setup and sends an A-SRS on auxiliary uplink resources based on a downlink assignment.

Patent №: 12382414 – Compensation of uplink timing errors for non-terrestrial networks. A wireless method where a UE applies phase rotation to subcarriers in the frequency domain, converts the signal to time domain, and transmits it to a non-terrestrial network receiver.

Marcel Van Os
Designer at apple computer.

Patent №: D1087119 – Display screen or portion thereof with graphical user interface.
Patent №: 12381924 – Real-time communication user interface.

A system displays options to share session links across various protocols, allows users to send and join sessions, and shows join requests with controls to accept or deny participation.

Thomas Wiegand
Executive Director at Fraunhofer HHI / Professor at TU Berlin.
Patent №: 12382107 – Video coding using a coded picture buffer.

Interpolating between signaled CPB (or HRD) parameters at selected bitrates balances transmission efficiency and parameter accuracy, enabling effective CPB configuration.

Patent №: 12382064 – Coding of significance maps and transform coefficient blocks. Higher coding efficiency for a significance map is achieved by adapting the scan order or context based on previously detected significant coefficients, allowing more efficient entropy decoding.
