Company patents
42dot Inc.
42dot Inc. exhibits a dynamic patent strategy, with a significant 29.2% of its portfolio in Navigation & Geodesy, yet surprisingly, its focus on Computer Vision is rapidly emerging, showing a remarkable 400.0% growth so far in 2026 after a sharp decline in 2025. While Vehicle Control Systems remains a core area at 21.5% of the portfolio, the dramatic 80.0% decline in patenting in this category so far in 2026 suggests a shifting priority, contrasting with the strong resurgence in Image Processing, which has grown by 300.0% in 2026.
