Company patents
American Airlines, Inc.
American Airlines, Inc. surprisingly focuses heavily on 'Business Methods & Fintech', which constitutes 70.5% of its patent portfolio, indicating a strategic emphasis on financial and operational efficiencies within the airline industry. While 'Machine Learning & AI' showed rapid growth of +200.0% in 2025, its complete absence so far in 2026, alongside significant declines in other computing categories like 'Input/Output & User Interfaces' (-100.0% YoY in 2026), suggests a potential shift in R&D priorities or a pause in patenting activity in these areas.
