Best Ather Energy Patents
WO2017125803A1 is the most popular patent in the Ather Energy portfolio. It has received 4 citations so far from companies like Yamaha Hatsudoki Kabushiki Kaisha and Nissan North America, Inc.
“We want to start building machine learning solutions with Google Cloud as rapidly as possible,” says Swapnil. “The next big area we’ll focus on are features that will improve the ownership and daily ride experience. Our upcoming OTAs will include features like predictive maintenance, improved range prediction, and adding first to category abilities like rider profiling.”
With pothole-filled roads, unnamed streets, chronic traffic congestion, perplexing city layouts, and free-for-all driving, driving in India can be challenging. Swapnil and Tarun had a vision to solve these issues with an electric scooter that adapts to changing road conditions, driving behaviours, and vehicle performance.
With Cloud IoT Core and BigQuery, Ather Energy created an intelligent electric scooter with route optimization and predictive maintenance to help people in India’s dynamic economy.
Ather Energy’s synergies with Cloud IoT solutions resulted in a one-of-a-kind mobility platform for India and beyond. Ather Energy’s platform capabilities are enhanced with Google Maps Platform-enabled navigation as a major component. The Ather 450 uses predictive maintenance to prevent problems, organises electricity use to save money, analyses traffic and road conditions to find the best route, and informs riders to vacant charge stations in the Ather Grid, the startup’s charging infrastructure.

Recent Design Patents (EL Platform)
Between April 2024 and August 2025, Ather Energy secured 121 active design patents in India for its upcoming EL series saddle type motorcycle platform. These patents cover the motorcycle’s overall appearance as well as many individual components, indicating a broad effort to protect the platform before launch. Interestingly, nearly 50+ filings were submitted within just three days (25-28 August 2025), suggesting a well-planned IP filing strategy.
The portfolio heavily protects the motorcycle’s exterior, including body panels, fairings, frame, swingarm, and other structural elements that define its visual identity. Ather has also gone beyond the visible design by filing patents for battery pack components, air intake systems, and thermal management parts-showing that it considers its battery architecture a key competitive advantage.
Ather’s protection extends beyond the motorcycle itself to include lighting, seats, helmets, charging devices, and even service tools. The shift in patent terminology from “scooter” to “saddle-type vehicle” further confirms that the EL platform is aimed at the motorcycle segment rather than its existing scooter lineup. Overall, the portfolio creates a strong design moat that makes it much harder for competitors to introduce a similar-looking product.
