Patent filings

Seven U.S. provisional patent applications. Inventor: Siamak (Sam) Tayebi, founder of Nickan Scientific & Innovations LLC.

QuietScan is the lead product. Two filings cover the helmet and a related mapping method. The other five are separate inventions — AI systems, materials, retail, and founder discovery — listed here so the inventor’s record is complete. Each card includes the USPTO Patent Center receipt for that application.

These are U.S. provisional applications. They establish a filing date and allow the term “patent pending.” They are not issued patents. Provisionals are not published, so these application numbers will not appear on Google Patents until a corresponding non-provisional is published. Full specifications remain under NDA.
