Company patents
AXIS AB
Axis AB's patent strategy reveals a surprising shift away from its core "Pictorial / Video Communications" (38.3% of portfolio) which saw a 34.0% decline so far in 2026, alongside a significant decline in "Computer Security" with zero patents so far in 2026. This contrasts with a strong emerging focus on "Radar / Sonar / Lidar," which experienced a remarkable 250.0% YoY growth in 2024 and 57.1% in 2025, indicating a strategic pivot towards advanced sensing technologies.
