Company patents
IQM FINLAND OY
IQM FINLAND OY's patent strategy reveals a strong, albeit potentially shifting, focus on Machine Learning & AI, which constitutes 74.0% of its portfolio, despite a -54.5% decline in patent filings so far in 2026 compared to 2025. While the company previously showed significant growth in semiconductor-related areas like Pulse / Digital Logic Circuits (YoY +500.0% in 2024) and Inorganic Devices (Thermoelectric, Piezo) (YoY +266.7% in 2024), these categories have seen substantial declines in 2025 and 2026, suggesting a reprioritization away from these specific hardware components, with Inorganic Devices seeing a complete -100.0% decline so far in 2026.
