Company patents

Huawei Cloud Computing Technologies Co., Ltd.

Huawei Cloud Computing Technologies Co., Ltd. demonstrates a dynamic patent strategy, with a surprising surge in Image Processing patents, growing by +125.0% in 2025, and an even more rapid emergence in Network Management & Monitoring, which saw a +144.4% increase in 2025, suggesting a strong focus on visual and network infrastructure management. While core areas like Operating Systems & Program Control (20.4% of portfolio) remain significant, the notable year-over-year declines so far in 2026 across most categories, such as a -45.0% drop in Operating Systems & Program Control and a -48.0% drop in Web & Cloud Service Protocols, indicate a potential shift in patenting priorities or a partial dataset for the current year.
