Company patents
HCL Technologies Limited
HCL Technologies Limited's patent strategy reveals a surprising and strong emerging focus on Image Processing, with a remarkable 600.0% year-over-year growth in 2026 (7 patents so far), despite a significant decline in 2025. While Computer Vision and Image Processing each represent 15.5% of their portfolio, the company appears to be shifting priorities away from core computing areas like Databases & Information Retrieval and Machine Learning & AI, which have seen consistent declines in patent filings over the past two years, though Machine Learning & AI shows a 100.0% increase so far in 2026.
