Publicly Disclosed Technology Architecture

What is publicly disclosed

Reviewed public capability set

  • GPS cattle ear tags
  • User-created geofence boundaries
  • Out-of-fence boundary events
  • Lost animal location using GPS
  • Health and activity monitoring
  • Pasture information and animals associated with pasture usage
  • Property points of interest: water tanks, feeders, wells, buildings, gates, cattle guards, irrigation systems, ponds, pipelines, pits
  • xWatSen remote water tank monitor and cattle check-in station
  • Water level monitoring
  • Temperature monitoring
  • Animal check-ins
  • Alerts
  • Autonomous Rancher integrated software

Why this matters to the patent position

The breadth of the publicly documented fixed-feature model — wells, pipelines, cattle guards, irrigation and pits — is highly significant relative to the Kahler property model.
