Aerospace and Defence Taxonomy

Delivering strategic patent insight to those responsible for protecting and delivering our future

The Aerospace and Defence sector relies on organisations capable of delivering complex projects spanning generations.

Cipher supports incumbents, adapting to disruption and new entrants vital to the emerging technologies of the future including HMI, robotics, autonomy and sensors.

“

Cipher has been world class for us. It’s easy to use, it provides very powerful visual representations of what we own and importantly what our competitors have.
