TALON introduces an AI orchestrator that envisions transforming the I5.0 into an automated intelligent platform by exploiting advances in edge networks and bringing intelligence near sensors in embedded systems with limited computational, storage, and communication resources, as well as the integration of advanced and adaptive sensors and perception. As a result of the innovative approaches produced as part of the project, this may give rise to a portfolio of assets that can be worth patenting. The present paper’s objective is to present the relevant efforts that project partners have undertaken so as to explore the patentability potential of a select number of concepts produced. As such the methodologies, rationale, assessment mechanisms are presented in sufficient detail, along with a description of the work that remains to be done before the patentability evaluation is fully completed, with a timeline extending to the end of the project.
