Company patents
Harmonic, Inc.
Harmonic, Inc. shows a surprising shift in its patent strategy, with a significant decline in several core communication and computing categories, such as Network Management & Monitoring (down 100% YoY in 2025) and Web & Cloud Service Protocols (down 100% so far in 2026). While Routing, Switching & QoS remains its largest category at 37.8% of its portfolio, the strong growth in Pictorial / Video Communications (up 200% in 2025) suggests an emerging focus on video-centric technologies despite a partial decline so far in 2026.
