Company patents
Five AI Limited
Five AI Limited's patent strategy reveals a strong, but recently decelerating, focus on core autonomous vehicle technologies, with Vehicle Control Systems (37.5% of portfolio) and Computer Vision (34.8%) being dominant. While Machine Learning & AI saw explosive growth in 2024 (+450.0% YoY), the significant year-over-year declines across nearly all categories in 2025 and so far in 2026 suggest a potential shift in R&D priorities or a maturation of their initial patenting surge.
