Company patents
Home Depot Product Authority, LLC
Home Depot Product Authority, LLC's patent strategy reveals a strong, albeit recently decelerating, focus on digital transformation, with Databases & Information Retrieval (36.4% of portfolio) and Business Methods & Fintech (34.1%) dominating its portfolio, despite significant year-over-year declines in 2025 (e.g., -71.4% in Business Methods & Fintech). While categories like Computer Vision and Natural Language Processing saw rapid growth in 2024 (both +100.0% YoY), their subsequent sharp declines in 2025 and so far in 2026 suggest a shifting priority away from these specific AI applications.
