Intellectual Property

Open where it builds trust, protected where it builds a company. Kronos is deliberate about the line.

The Kronos model is to publish the physics openly — so it can be checked — while protecting the proprietary engineering that turns a design into a manufacturable machine. Kronos holds a granted patent, US 12,009,112, with additional applications pending (64/128,097).

The genuinely proprietary build detail lives in the patent filings, not in the open deposits or the public engineering drawings — which are representative, not fabrication-grade.
