Company patents
IQVIA Inc.
IQVIA Inc. appears to be significantly shifting its patent strategy, with a notable decline across its core areas like Healthcare Informatics (down 52.9% so far in 2026) and Machine Learning & AI (down 88.9% so far in 2026) after a peak in 2024, despite these categories still representing 64.8% and 36.2% of its total portfolio, respectively. The company showed a surprising surge in Business Methods & Fintech in 2025 with a 100% YoY growth, only to see it drop to zero patents so far in 2026, indicating a highly volatile and potentially reactive approach to patenting in emerging areas.
