Patents by Inventor Joshua Yousouf Mutus

Joshua Yousouf Mutus has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20240126970
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for parameterization of physical dimensions of discrete circuit components for component definitions that define discrete circuit components. The component definitions may be selected for use in a device design. When a parametrization of a particular version of a discrete circuit component definition is changed, the version level of the device design is also changed and the circuit layout for the device design is physically verified for the new version level.
