Company patents
Coupang Corp.
Coupang Corp.'s patent strategy shows a surprising and significant decline across nearly all categories since 2023, with its dominant 'Business Methods & Fintech' category (70.5% of portfolio) experiencing a sharp 65.0% year-over-year decrease in patenting activity so far in 2026. This broad reduction, particularly evident in core areas like 'Databases & Information Retrieval' (down 50.0% YoY so far in 2026) and 'Input/Output & User Interfaces' (down 100.0% YoY so far in 2026), suggests a dramatic shift away from active patenting across its technology portfolio.
