Company patents
Lenovo (United States) Inc.
Lenovo (United States) Inc's patent strategy reveals a surprising and aggressive pivot towards communication technologies, with Wireless Networks dominating 40.8% of its portfolio and experiencing a remarkable 475.0% YoY growth in 2025 and a further 47.8% so far in 2026, alongside an emerging focus on Physical Transmission & Modulation, which saw an 85.7% YoY increase in 2026. While maintaining a presence in computing, the significant decline in Hardware Platform (Cooling, Power, Packaging) patents by 85.7% in 2024 suggests a shifting priority away from traditional hardware components, despite a strong rebound of 300.0% so far in 2026.
