FPT’s Akabot AI Agentic Automation solution receives patent in Taiwan
n the era of global AI development, mastering core technologies is key for Vietnamese technology companies seeking to expand internationally. FPT’s AI Agentic Automation solution, Akabot, has recently been granted its first patent in Taiwan, marking a strategic milestone in affirming the innovation capabilities of “Make in Vietnam” technology in one of the world’s most demanding technology markets.
Akabot AI Agentic Automation solution developed by FPT receives its first patent in Taiwan.
Establishing technological standards with comprehensive protection
The Taiwan Intellectual Property Office has granted Akabot a patent covering a comprehensive scope of protection, including computer systems, operational methods and non-transitory storage media for an automated solution that separates and classifies input documents using machine learning.
The invention directly addresses the challenge of processing large volumes of data in various formats such as invoices, contracts, purchase orders and acceptance records — a common operational bottleneck for enterprises. By mastering this core technology, Akabot enables AI agents to intelligently process up to 300–400 document sets per day, reducing document separation and classification time from about 15 minutes to only 30–60 seconds.
The patent protection for both the system and the method allows Akabot to safeguard its proprietary algorithms against potential technology replication.
Strategic value for Vietnamese technology products
Prior to receiving the patent in Taiwan, Akabot’s machine learning system for document separation and classification had already been granted a patent by the United States Patent and Trademark Office in 2023. The technology has since been widely applied in solutions such as Akabot Vision and UBot Invoice, serving nearly 2,000 customers worldwide.
Securing patents in demanding markets such as the United States in 2023 and Taiwan in 2026 provides critical competitive advantages for Akabot. In international bidding processes, intellectual property is often a decisive factor. The patent establishes a strong legal barrier and creates a clear technological differentiation between Akabot and other solutions in the market.
International patents also contribute to enhancing product valuation. FPT’s automation and operational optimization solutions are positioned not merely as service offerings but as technology products backed by globally recognized intellectual property.
Strengthening the position of “Make in Vietnam” technology
Akabot’s success reflects the broader ambition of Vietnamese technology companies to move beyond the role of outsourcing providers and become innovators capable of shaping global markets.
Bui Dinh Giap, Chief Operating Officer of the New Product & Service Business Division at FPT IS, FPT Corporation, said the patents granted in both the United States and Taiwan represent an important milestone for the company’s product strategy.
“Obtaining patents in the United States and Taiwan is not only a legal achievement but also a strong affirmation that technology products developed in Vietnam are capable of solving the most demanding challenges in global markets,” he said. “At FPT IS, we aim not only to develop solutions for today’s needs but also to continuously build intellectual assets with long-term value.”
He added that Akabot’s achievements will serve as a source of inspiration for other products developed by FPT IS to further expand internationally and showcase Vietnamese innovation and technological capabilities on the global stage.
Expanding the global footprint of FPT’s product ecosystem
In 2025, FPT’s product ecosystem received multiple international and national recognitions, including awards for FPT.eInvoice at the Stevie Awards, FPT.EagleEye as a key product of Hanoi, and Sao Khue Awards for solutions such as Volar FINEX and iSOMA. Kyta Platform also won the championship at the iKhien innovation competition.
The newly granted patent for Akabot at the beginning of 2026 signals the start of a new phase, in which Vietnamese technology products are increasingly positioned to compete directly with leading global players from the United States, Europe and Japan through their own innovation capabilities and intellectual property.
