Company patents
Insurance Services Office, Inc.
Insurance Services Office, Inc. exhibits a strong and surprising focus on advanced computing technologies, with Computer Vision (52.5% of portfolio) and Image Processing (50.8% of portfolio) dominating its patent strategy, despite a notable decline in patenting activity across most categories so far in 2026. While Machine Learning & AI saw a significant 114.3% YoY growth in 2025, the consistent, albeit smaller, growth in Electronic Design Automation (CAD/EDA) at 66.7% YoY in 2024 and 20.0% in 2025 suggests an underlying commitment to developing foundational computing infrastructure alongside its AI applications.
