Intellectual Property
A verifiable technology moat in storage acceleration — patents, software copyrights and research.
What is ZK-Storage's IP portfolio?
- Core patent filings
- 8 (Filed / under examination)
- Representative granted assets
- 4 (patents/paper, originals on file)
- Software copyrights
- 7
- EI papers
- 20+
IP portfolio
Technical depth, evidenced by certificates and originals.
Basis: 67 patents filed / 34 granted (incl. 2 US), 7 software copyrights and 20+ EI papers form the personal academic / invention portfolio of Chief Scientist Wang Qiyuan; separately, the company holds 8 invention-patent filings around ZK-Storage core technology (under examination), shown below.
Representative granted patents & research
4 genuine invention-patent certificates, a patent application and a research paper from the core team — originals scanned, on file and downloadable.
A multi-target tracking method
Multi-target tracking · perception · Granted · certificate on file
Streamlined compute-unit and columnar-storage method on a reduced computing architecture
Reduced compute · columnar storage · Granted · certificate on file
An IO remote-switching simulation product-testing methodology
IO remote switching · test system · Application No. CN202410659818
Time-validity symmetric encryption with public-key-based password verification
Data security · cryptography · Research paper · full text on file
IP statement (fact-based)
Originals of the certificates / paper above are scanned, on file and downloadable. Granted patents are labeled “granted · certificate on file” — no fabricated certificate numbers — while the application shows its real number (CN202410659818), consistent with our patent-portfolio stance (filed / under examination, no patent numbers).
Core-technology patent portfolio
Across disaggregation, GPU-direct, lossless fabric and KV-cache scheduling — 8 invention patents filed.

IP statement (fact-based)
These 8 are the company’s invention-patent filings around ZK-Storage core technology, all currently filed / under examination. We deliberately show no patent numbers here and will publish real certificate numbers once granted — no overstatement. Separately, our Chief Scientist has personally filed 67 invention patents with 34 granted (incl. 2 US); see the Chief Scientist section on the Company page.
Qualifications & certifications

All certificates shown are representative samples; the corresponding management-system certifications, qualifications and product compliance are in process. We deliberately show no real certificate numbers here and will update with genuine certificates once issued — consistent with our patent stance (filed / under examination, no patent numbers).
Brand & technical standards
Brand identity and standardization.
Brand marks & standards participation
The group uses 中科存储 / ZK-Storage as its outward brand marks; it continues to codify technical specifications across disaggregation, NVMe-oF / RoCE lossless networking and KV-cache scheduling, and engages in industry standards and ecosystem interoperability (trademark registration and standards participation are in progress, subject to final announcement).
An intellectual-property moat
8 company core-technology patent filings, plus the team's representative granted patents, software copyrights and research, span the full data path — disaggregated architecture, lossless transport, GPU-memory pass-through and KV-cache scheduling — mapping one-to-one to the products (WS5000 / WS7000) and third-party results, forming a verifiable, evolvable barrier.
