As a not-for-profit company working in the public interest, our patents help move ideas into real-world use with real-world impact. View transcript (bright music) - [Narrator] At MITRE, great minds get to work on our mission, solving problems for a safer world. Patents demonstrate the depth of our impact on innovation. MITRE researchers combine subject matter expertise, creativity and a collective passion for producing solutions. MITRE's patents drive change, impact technology, protect critical systems, keep us connected and save lives. As a not-for-profit organization, we work in the public interest across federal, state and local governments, as well as industry and academia. MITRE has patented more than 250 inventions since 1958. It's a body of work that makes a difference daily for our sponsors and our world. For example, MITRE's FUSE, or Frequently-scaled Ultra-wide Spectrum Element, represents six patents in MITRE's portfolio. FUSE bridges the global communications infrastructure by eliminating the need for multiple apertures for different technologies. From satellites, ships and planes to 5G. Multiple Department of Defense agencies consider FUSE the gold standard for wide band phased array antenna design. Another MITRE patent, Cygraph, is a military grade cyber security analytics and visualization prototype platform. Delivering predictive models of threats and attacks, Cygraph translates domain specific language to provide a common operating picture of cyberspace. The result? Minimizing exposure to potential attacks and optimizing responses to actual attacks. Inspired innovations from inspired minds. Whose ideas become innovations that change our world. From prototype to proof of concept to patent to licensing that transfers pure innovation to real world use. We honor and celebrate MITRE's intellectual property and the great minds developing breakthroughs with long lasting impact. (bright music)
