Company patents

HOHAI UNIVERSITY

HOHAI UNIVERSITY's patent strategy reveals a surprising shift away from core computing areas like Electronic Design Automation (18.1% of portfolio) and Material & Chemical Analysis (13.9%), both experiencing significant declines of -50.0% and -80.0% respectively so far in 2026 after a -100.0% drop in 2024. Despite this, there's an emerging focus on Computer Vision and Image Processing, with 2026 showing robust growth of +100.0% and +200.0% respectively, alongside a notable increase in Geophysics & Gravity Measurement, which also grew by +100.0% so far in 2026.
