Company patents

GENETEC INC.

GENETEC INC's patent strategy reveals a surprising surge in "Alarm & Signaling Systems," which saw an astounding 433.3% year-over-year growth in 2024, indicating a strong emerging focus, despite a subsequent decline in 2025 and so far in 2026. While core areas like "Pictorial / Video Communications" (27.4% of portfolio) and "Computer Vision" (24.6% of portfolio) remain significant, the dramatic fluctuations across most categories, such as "Routing, Switching & QoS" with a 180.0% growth in 2024 followed by a 64.3% decline in 2025, suggest a dynamic and potentially opportunistic approach to patenting rather than a consistent, long-term build-up in specific areas.
