Company patents
Alarm.com Incorporated
Alarm.com Incorporated's patent strategy reveals a surprising, albeit potentially shifting, focus on aerospace technologies, with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (Drones) representing 10.7% of its portfolio and experiencing a 50.0% YoY growth in 2024, despite a subsequent decline in 2025 and 2026 so far. While its core "Alarm & Signaling Systems" category still dominates at 44.4% of the portfolio, the significant decline in patenting across most categories in 2026, including a 100.0% drop in "Industrial & Autonomous Control" and "Aircraft & Aerodynamics" from 2025, suggests a broader re-evaluation or slowdown in its patenting activities.
