Company patents

Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC

Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC's patent strategy reveals a surprising shift away from its core 'Business Methods & Fintech' category, which, despite being its largest at 27.7% of the portfolio, has seen a significant decline of 57.1% so far in 2026. Concurrently, the company is rapidly expanding its focus on 'Network Security & Access Control', showing a remarkable 200.0% year-over-year growth in 2026, and 'Databases & Information Retrieval', which grew by 42.9% in 2026, indicating a strategic pivot towards underlying computing infrastructure and security.
