Vietnam FPT’s AI automation solution secures new machine learning patent on overseas market
The patent was awarded to Akabot, an AI agent-based automation solution developed by FPT, reflecting the company’s efforts to expand its technology presence in international markets.
Establishing technology standards
The patent was granted by the Taiwan Intellectual Property Office and covers the computer system, implementation method, and non-transitory storage media used in Akabot’s machine learning-based solution for automated document splitting and classification.

Organizations often face challenges when processing large volumes of data from different sources and in multiple formats, including emails, scanned documents, invoices, contracts, and settlement records. Handling such unstructured data can be difficult and time-consuming when done manually.
According to FPT, Akabot’s technology allows AI agents to process 300-400 sets of documents per day, reducing the time required for splitting and classification from about 15 minutes to between 30 and 60 seconds.
The company said the patent provides legal protection for the system, implementation method, and storage components underlying the technology.
Expanding global presence
Before receiving the patent in Taiwan, the machine learning system used by Akabot for document splitting and classification had been granted a patent by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) in 2023.
The technology has been integrated into FPT’s broader ecosystem, including solutions such as Akabot Vision and UBot Invoice, which the company says are used by nearly 2,000 customers worldwide.
Securing patents in markets such as the United States and Taiwan can strengthen a technology company’s position in international procurement processes, where intellectual property ownership is often a key factor in evaluating technology providers.
International patents can also contribute to the valuation of technology products by recognizing proprietary systems and intellectual assets developed by companies.
Promoting “Make in Vietnam” technology

“At FPT, we aim not only to develop solutions for current needs but also to build long-term intellectual assets,” Giap said, adding that such achievements could help expand the reach of products developed by FPT in international markets.
In recent years, FPT Corporation has increased investment in areas such as artificial intelligence, digital transformation, unmanned aerial vehicles, quantum computing, railway technology, and cybersecurity.
According to the company, the latest patent granted in early 2026 represents another step in its strategy to develop technology products in Vietnam for global markets.
