The patent. The licensing model. What licencees get.

KSEMA's five certified engines — Grid, Thermal, Quantum, Growth Acceleration, and Seasonal Cycle — are protected intellectual property. The licensing model is designed for commercial platform operators, research institutions, and future vertical partners — not for end users. This page describes the structure.

UK Patent

UK IPO patent application

KSEMA has filed a patent application with the UK Intellectual Property Office covering the certification framework underlying the Grid, Thermal, and Quantum engines — specifically their application to energy storage dispatch certification. The filing establishes priority for the methodology as of May 2026.

Licensing model

Two-part structure.

Part one

Upfront licence fee

A one-time fee for the right to deploy the licensed engines within a defined domain and platform. Covers the initial integration, certification of the deployment, and access to updates within the licensed scope.

Part two

Per-deployment royalty

A royalty on each deployment of the licensed engines' certified outputs within the licensee's platform. Scales with usage. Aligns KSEMA's revenue with the licensee's commercial success.

Licence terms are negotiated directly. There is no standard rate card. Enquiries are handled by the director.

Who can licence

Three categories of licensee

Commercial platform operators

Companies building analytics or certification platforms in domains where KSEMA's engine applies — energy, agriculture, materials, and adjacent fields. Sancosmic is the current example. Future operators in other verticals are the target.

Research institutions

Universities, national laboratories, and research bodies requiring access to the engine for academic or applied research. Research licences are NDA-gated and do not include commercial deployment rights.

Future vertical partners

Organisations developing platforms in verticals not yet covered by an existing licensee — materials science, pharmaceutical process certification, and other domains where physical system behaviour needs to be certified rather than predicted.

What licencees get

Access to certified outputs. Not to the methodology.

A KSEMA licence grants access to the certified outputs of the licensed engines for deployment within the licensee's platform. It does not grant access to the methodology, the derivation chain, the internal analytical framework of any engine, or any component that would allow the licensee to reproduce the engines independently.

The licensee builds products on top of the certified outputs. They do not own the engines, the methodology, or the certification framework.
