Our Patents

Arrive holds three granted US Patents (as Dronedek) from its initial applications holding a 2014 priority.  It has continued to bolster its protected features and functions with additional patents pending in both the US and the PCT/ WIPO.

International filings are considering which of the global markets provide the best opportunities and are focused on the top 25+ nations representing more than 80% of the global economy.  Listing and copies of the array of patents and applications are available upon request. 

The company’s quickness to the patent office in 2014 puts its portfolio ahead of notable industry giants, beating the filing position of the likes of Amazon, The United States Postal Service, UPS, Walmart, and others.

The patented, smart, and secure receptacle ushers in the new era of package and postal delivery. All of the advantages and features provide efficient, green, cost-effective and speedy delivery via aerial drones, robotics or autonomous vehicles to allow customers to fully automate their process from delivery through the last mile.

Arrive holds US trademarks and several US and foreign applications protecting its brands, including under its former company name, Dronedek.

The company may employ different technological devices for communication including GPS information to and from the drone, a barcode scanner that signals when delivery is complete, and a security camera with image confirmation.

As of September 2023, the company has 149 total filed claims.
