Proto Inc., a hologram communications and AI spatial compute platform, has been granted U.S. Design Patent No. D1,134,257 S by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, covering the design of the Proto M holographic display.

The patent lists Proto Founder David Nussbaum alongside co-inventors Doug Barry, Edward Ginis and Raphael Kryszek, and was filed February 22, 2023, according to a press release.

The design patent adds to Proto's growing intellectual property portfolio, which already includes U.S. Utility Patent No. 11,428,952 for Proto's core holographic display and image-capture method, along with international patent recognition in Canada and Mexico.

"This patent recognizes the original design work behind Proto M," Raphael Kryszek, chief product and AI officer at Proto, said in the release. "We created it to make holographic communication and AI spatial computing more accessible, bringing the presence and connection of our full-size systems into a compact format that fits naturally into more spaces. That vision continues with M2, and as the category grows, protecting the innovations that helped define it matters more than ever."

The Proto M and the next generation M2 are in use by Proto's dozens of repeat Fortune 500 clients and in healthcare, education, retail, finance, sports and entertainment.
