Company patents
LY Corporation
LY Corporation's patent strategy reveals a strong and sustained focus on fintech, with Business Methods & Fintech comprising 38.6% of its portfolio and maintaining a high patent output so far in 2026. While areas like Databases & Information Retrieval and Natural Language Processing saw significant patenting activity in 2025, their sharp declines in 2026 (YoY -47.1% and -81.8% respectively) suggest a potential shift in priorities, contrasting with the emerging focus on Machine Learning & AI, which grew 33.3% year-over-year in 2026, and Pictorial / Video Communications, which saw a rapid 200.0% YoY growth so far in 2026.
