Company patents

23andMe, Inc.

23andMe, Inc. demonstrates a surprising shift in its patent strategy, with a significant decline across its core computing-related categories like Databases & Information Retrieval (down 26.7% YoY in 2025) and Machine Learning & AI (down 30.8% YoY in 2025), which together represent nearly half of its portfolio. While its dominant Bioinformatics category (72.1% of portfolio) has stabilized with 20 patents in 2025, the company shows an emerging focus on Business Methods & Fintech, experiencing a remarkable 200.0% YoY growth in 2025, indicating a potential pivot towards commercializing its data and services.
