On November 16, it was reported that as competition in the robot dog market became increasingly fierce, Boston Dynamics sued its competitor Ghost Robotics, alleging that the latter had infringed seven patents related to its Spot quadruped robot.
Boston Dynamics said Ghost Robotics' Spirit 40 and Vision 60 robot dogs borrowed key technologies from Spot, including self-righting and stair-climbing systems.
Boston Dynamics said it asked Ghost Robotics to review patents related to Spot in July 2020, five months after the launch of the Spirit 40. Since then, Boston Dynamics claims to have sent two cease-and-desist letters asking Ghost to stop selling its robot dog.
In a statement, Boston Dynamics said it "welcomes competition" but will crack down on companies that infringe its intellectual property. As part of the lawsuit, Boston Dynamics is seeking unspecified damages.
Ghost Robotics was founded in 2015 by Avik De and Gavin Kenneally, both PhD holders from the University of Pennsylvania. Ghost Robotics’ clients include the U.S. and related military, homeland, intelligence and public safety agencies, defense and industrial companies, universities and research organizations.
