U.S. Patent No. 12,762,311 issued on October 13, 2026.

On October 13, 2026, the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued U.S. Patent No. 12,762,311, titled "System Configured to Generate Layout Plans". The patent names Jason Tielve and Harry SanMartin as inventors. The patent has 28 claims and 32 sheets of drawings.

The application was filed on March 17, 2026. The patent also lists a provisional application filed on October 13, 2025, so it issued one year to the day after the provisional application was filed.

What the patent describes.

The patent's abstract describes "a system and method for automating the design and layout of building infrastructure systems using artificial intelligence". Its first claim is to "an artificial intelligence (AI) assisted computer-implemented system for generating code-constrained building-system layouts".

The patent also claims a computer-implemented method for generating a code-constrained building-system layout from project files in DXF, DWG or PDF format. In that method, an artificial intelligence model generates candidate placements of system elements, the candidates are filtered, and the result is validated against a ruleset that includes spacing and coverage constraints derived from regulatory requirements.

How it relates to FireDesign.ai.

Jason Tielve, one of the two inventors named on the patent, is our CEO. FireDesign.ai today produces fire sprinkler layouts and pipe routing from DXF and DWG floor plans.

The patent's written description discusses fire sprinkler layout together with other building systems, including heating, ventilation and air conditioning, plumbing and electrical systems. The claims are written for building systems in general.
