QUALCOMM INCORPORATED received European patent publication EP4639202A1 for machine learning based occupancy grid generation technology used in autonomous vehicle perception systems. The patent covers ML techniques (G06N 3/08, 5/022, 5/025) combined with LiDAR/radar processing (G01S 7/41, 13/86, 13/931) for generating occupancy grids that map vehicle surroundings. Designated states cover all major European markets (DE, FR, GB, IT, ES, NL, etc.).

Patent publications do not impose compliance obligations on third parties. However, companies developing autonomous driving or advanced driver-assistance systems should review this patent for freedom-to-operate considerations and potential licensing implications. This represents QUALCOMM's expanding IP portfolio in automotive AI and sensor fusion technology.
