Company patents
DoorDash, Inc.
Door Dash, Inc.'s patent strategy, while heavily focused on Business Methods & Fintech (61.9% of its portfolio), shows a surprising, albeit volatile, emerging interest in Kitchen Equipment, which saw an 800.0% year-over-year growth in 2024, suggesting a potential expansion beyond pure logistics into food preparation or smart kitchen integration, despite a subsequent decline. The company also appears to be shifting priorities away from Wireless Networks and Web & Cloud Service Protocols, both experiencing significant year-over-year declines in 2026 so far.
