Company patents

Intertrust Technologies Corporation

Intertrust Technologies Corporation's patent strategy is heavily concentrated in Cryptographic Mechanisms (52.7% of portfolio) and Computer Security (43.2%), with a surprising emerging focus on Network Security & Access Control, which saw a 75.0% year-over-year growth in 2025, despite a significant decline so far in 2026. While core areas like Cryptographic Mechanisms and Computer Security show some fluctuation, the company appears to be shifting priorities away from Wireless Networks and Bioinformatics, both experiencing 100.0% and 75.0% declines respectively in 2025, and further declines so far in 2026.
