Company patents
Arbor Networks, Inc.
Arbor Networks, Inc. shows a surprising and consistent decline across its entire patent portfolio, with its core Network Security & Access Control category, representing 86.9% of its patents, experiencing a significant 55.0% drop in 2025 and an 88.9% decline so far in 2026. This broad reduction, even in emerging areas like Machine Learning & AI which saw 100% growth in 2024 but then a 100% decline in 2025, suggests a substantial shift away from patenting across all technology areas.
