Patents
ORBIT is built on architectural primitives that we filed for protection before we built the product around them. The patent portfolio sits with RabbitHoleSpiral LLC; ORBIT is licensed to operate it.
We filed because these primitives apply across the agentic era, not just one product. The modules that ship on the ORBIT substrate (Guardian, Stripe Guardian, MCP Governance, Compliance Plane, future surfaces) all build on the same protected base.
Architectural primitives for evaluating AI agent actions at the moment of action, not after the fact. Includes the gate-between-intent-and-irreversible-action positioning and the synchronous-decision-record requirement that runtime governance rests on.
Mechanisms for representing governance policy as signed, machine-verifiable data and binding it cryptographically to every decision the runtime makes. Covers the charter-as-signed-artifact model and the policy-version-hash chain tied to each receipt.
Methods for distinguishing what an agent is authorized to do from what it actually does at runtime, and for surfacing the gap as evidence rather than burying it. Includes structures for representing trust posture explicitly across agent contexts.
Architectural patterns for keeping the chain of authority intact from the principal who set the policy to the action that the policy permitted, with each link cryptographically attestable. Covers the principal-scoping invariants that prevent cross-tenant escapes.
The receipt format that records every governed decision and remains independently verifiable using a published public key without depending on the issuing infrastructure. Covers the receipt-as-private-property posture (owner-only, no public URL) and the offline-verification path.
We do not chase you with the portfolio if you build something adjacent. The filings exist so that when ORBIT customers ask “is this architecturally defensible,” the answer is yes and the IP is held by a real entity, not undocumented internal IP. Customers and partners building on ORBIT's receipts and substrate can rely on continuity.
