Company patents
Landmark Graphics Corporation
Landmark Graphics Corporation, despite its strong historical focus on energy sectors like Drilling & Mining (68.3% of portfolio) and Geophysics & Gravity Measurement (37.6%), appears to be significantly shifting its patent strategy, with patenting in both categories declining by over 18% year-over-year in 2025 and further sharp drops so far in 2026. This decline is mirrored across most of its computing-related categories, including Machine Learning & AI, which saw a 31.2% decline in 2025, suggesting a broad retrenchment in patenting activity rather than a targeted shift to new emerging areas, with the exception of a surprising 100% YoY growth in Business Methods & Fintech patents so far in 2026, albeit from a low base.
