Company patents
Forescout Technologies, Inc.
Forescout Technologies, Inc. shows a surprising shift in its patent strategy, with a significant decline across its core communication categories like Network Security & Access Control (down 16.7% YoY in 2025) and Network Management & Monitoring (down 19.0% YoY in 2025). While most categories saw a sharp drop in patenting activity so far in 2026, the company had been showing an emerging focus on Pattern Recognition & ML Models, which grew by 66.7% YoY in 2025, indicating a potential pivot towards AI-driven solutions despite the overall portfolio contraction.
