Munich, October 24, 2025 - Circus SE (XETRA: CA1.DE / WKN: A2YN35) today announced the filing of six groundbreaking patents in the fields of defense and autonomous AI robotics. The intellectual property covers core technologies of the company's proprietary autonomous AI robot system CA-M, specifically engineered for operation in security-critical and military environments.

The newly filed patents encompass multiple aspects of autonomous food preparation of the company's developed AI robot CA-M. With these filings, Circus positions itself as a pioneer in dual-use robotics, where culinary autonomy converges with defense-grade technologies.

With these patents, Circus reinforces its transformation from an early AI robotics innovator into a strategic deep-tech company operating at the intersection of artificial intelligence, automation, and defense infrastructure. The goal is to secure a leading position in the emerging market for autonomous support systems across NATO and allied forces.

In the defense domain, these patents establish significant competitive barriers for new entrants, allowing Circus to deploy protected technology while forcing competitors to develop alternatives - often costlier or less efficient - solutions. This provides the company with critical time to build market share and set technological standards.

"Even at this early stage of our technology, we recognize that patents will determine how successfully we can roll out globally. Accordingly, we will further accelerate our patent strategy to control the standard, the platform - and ultimately the direction in which this market evolves. We are not just automating field catering - we are redefining how critical missions are sustained, supported, and supplied", said Nikolas Bullwinkel, Founder and CEO of Circus SE.

Following the successful grant of its core technology patent for the CA-1 AI robot in April 2025, these six additional filings mark Circus' entry into a phase of comprehensive intellectual property protection. The company's clear objective is to establish an unassailable technological lead in AI-driven robotics within the global defense market.
