Company patents
Axon Enterprise, Inc.
Axon Enterprise, Inc.'s patent strategy appears to be shifting away from its core "Pictorial / Video Communications" area, which constitutes 18.6% of its portfolio but has seen a significant decline of 50.0% in patent filings so far in 2026. Surprisingly, despite its focus on public safety technology, categories like "Alarm & Signaling Systems" and "Business Methods & Fintech" have also experienced substantial year-over-year declines of 80.0% and 33.3% respectively in 2026, indicating a potential re-evaluation of priorities across several established domains.

Methods and systems for improving the quality of video streams, generating intermediate frames, or continuously locating and following objects within a sequence of images, even under occlusion.
Designing user interfaces and interaction methods specifically for mobile or wearable devices, enabling control of external systems, monitoring user states, or facilitating real-world transactions.
Systems designed for rapid and secure attachment and detachment of devices or components to a main support structure, often employing snap-fit, clamping, or magnetic mechanisms for convenience and flexibility.
Technologies for transmitting critical alerts and information during emergencies, often involving wireless networks, specialized devices, and protocols to ensure timely and targeted communication to users or emergency services.
Methods and apparatus for improving the visual fidelity, resolution, or compression efficiency of video signals, often through advanced processing, up-scaling, or neural network-based filters.
Solutions for the automated deployment, retrieval, and payload handling of drones, often involving integration with other vehicles or specialized ground infrastructure for specific applications like package delivery.
Systems that utilize light, displays, or augmented reality to provide warnings, guidance, or to deter unwanted actions, often involving adjustable light patterns or directional indicators for enhanced effectiveness.
Support structures and stands specifically engineered for electronic devices such as displays, tablets, cameras, or handheld devices, often incorporating features for viewing angle adjustment, stability, or power/data integration.
Systems that combine data from multiple camera sensors or capture multiple images from different perspectives or qualities, often involving image processing techniques like synthesis to create enhanced or comprehensive views.
Systems for coordinating multiple drones, managing their operations within an airspace, including real-time connectivity, traffic management, and task allocation for cooperative missions.
Drone propulsion and power architectures combining multiple energy sources, such as internal combustion engines, electric motors, batteries, and generators, to extend flight duration, range, or payload capacity.
Systems enabling wireless communication between vehicles (V2V), vehicles and infrastructure (V2I), or vehicles and other entities (V2X) to share information for traffic management, safety, and navigation.
Mobile applications and systems leveraging wireless communication and location data (e.g., GPS, RFID, geo-fencing) to provide context-specific services, transactions, or user interactions.
Mechanisms allowing for changes in the length, height, angle, or position of a support frame or component, often using sliding, rotating, or telescoping elements to achieve desired configurations.
