Company patents

HOHAI UNIVERSITY

HOHAI UNIVERSITY's patent strategy reveals a surprising shift away from several core computing and materials science areas, with Electronic Design Automation (CAD/EDA) and Material & Chemical Analysis both experiencing a -100.0% decline in patenting activity in 2024, followed by significant drops again so far in 2026. However, there's an emerging focus on Computer Vision, which saw a +100.0% growth in 2026 (so far), and Geophysics & Gravity Measurement, also with a +100.0% growth in 2026 (so far), indicating a potential pivot towards environmental and spatial technologies.
