Company patents
AI Incorporated
AI Incorporated's patent strategy reveals a surprising shift, with its core "Industrial & Autonomous Control" category, representing 57.5% of its portfolio, experiencing a significant decline of 31.0% in 2025 and a further 89.7% so far in 2026, despite a strong 61.5% growth in 2024. This trend is mirrored across most categories, including "Machine Learning & AI," which saw a remarkable 120.0% growth in 2024 but then a sharp 72.7% decline in 2025, suggesting a broad re-evaluation or completion of foundational IP filings after a period of rapid expansion.
