L&A Announces U.S. Trademark Registration of AgCeption®

L&A's AI Brand Expanding into Australia with the Patent-Pending L&Aser™.

CHICO, CA, UNITED STATES, September 25, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Laudando & Associates (L&A) today announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has officially registered AgCeption^® on the Principal Register (Reg. No. 7,950,234, Class 9; registered September 16, 2025). This registration covers electronic plant and weed identification hardware and software for edge computing—validating the company's flagship, farmer-first perception platform.

“AgCeption^® was built for the people doing the work—farmers, small OEMs, and integrators who’ve been shut out of enterprise AI,” said Chris Laudando, President of L&A. “With our brand mark registered, we’re going to accelerate new application development—putting our tools and model-building workflows into the hands of the ‘little guy', with fair licensing deals that include profit share.”

AgCeption^® emphasizes 'AI with ROI' by focusing on terrestrial automation process improvement. The brand's automation point-problem focus drives top/bottom-line benefits on the farm and reveals the company's unique ground-up approach to contiguous crop lifecycle data aggregation. "We solve problems that cost farmers money and let them archive their data for future AI-discovery or monetization. We don't sell data collectors that promise future AI-discovery and ROI", added Laudando.

The AgCeption^® tool suite offers pure perception sensor integrations and sensor retrofits to improve the efficiency or performance of existing machinery, equipment, and infrastructure. Using the AgCeption^® ML pipeline, farmers and OEMs can accelerate "unique to the farm" model creation using the company's proprietary automations and closed-loop feedback between AgCeption^® hardware on the farm and the AgCeption^® Portal hosted on AWS.

Whereas many AgTech companies embed perception in their product, implement, or robot, AgCeption^® offers stand-alone perception building blocks engineered for small and mid-sized teams that don’t have in-house AI/ML engineers or big-budget development partners. Customers can leverage one piece or the whole stack—edge devices, data pipelines, labeling tools, model training, deployment, telemetry, and MLOps—on their timelines and budgets.

Additionally, every AgCeption^® licensing deal includes a profit-share for farmers, integrators, or OEMs who choose to share data or models with the broader industry. L&A believes this farmer-first focus aligns incentives, accelerates innovation, and ensures that those closest to the field participate in the upside they help create.

The AgCeption^® product family continues to grow, and today includes:

The AgCeption^® Grain-o-Scope™ — Seed & ear-height phenotyping for corn, soybeans, and other grains
The AgCeption^® Broomrape Detection — Early detection and mapping for parasitic weed pressure
The AgCeption^® Harvest Loss Monitoring — Real-time visibility into losses to optimize settings and speed
The AgCeption^® Greenhouse Module — Greenhouse phenotyping and task automation under glass
The AgCeption^® Bee2Bee™ Hive Sensor — Colony monitoring and actionable alerts for commercial pollinators
The AgCeption^® Selective Harvest — Maturity detection, 3D localization, and approach estimation
The AgCeption^® Pathogen Detection System — Food safety risk localization and mapping
The AgCeption^® L&Aser™ Control Suite — For L&A’s patent-pending L&Aser™ weeding platform
