sliQue Robotics' CEO, Michael Kessler, argues that data, not patents, is the key competitive advantage in AI-driven robotics. He explains that sliQue prioritizes data collection and curation over a traditional patent portfolio, believing this approach fosters continuous improvement, scalability, and reduced legal risks. This data-centric strategy, he claims, creates a defensible market position through specialized datasets and feedback loops. Kessler emphasizes that this model offers investors higher growth potential and faster revenue generation, ultimately leading to superior long-term returns.
