Company patents
HANWHA VISION CO., LTD.
HANWHA VISION CO., LTD. shows a strong and relatively recent pivot into core imaging and AI technologies, with Pictorial / Video Communications (43.8% of portfolio) and Computer Vision (30.8% of portfolio) emerging as dominant areas, both experiencing massive growth in 2024 (YoY +3000.0% and +2300.0% respectively). While these core areas saw slight declines in 2025 and so far in 2026, the company is also surprisingly expanding its focus on Image Processing, which doubled its patent output in 2025 (YoY +100.0%) to become 17.3% of its portfolio, indicating a deeper commitment to underlying image manipulation capabilities.
