Company patents

Matterport, Inc.

Matterport, Inc.'s patent strategy reveals a strong, sustained focus on Image Processing, which constitutes 65.4% of its portfolio and saw a significant 66.7% growth in 2025. While there was a notable surge in Pictorial / Video Communications patents in 2024 (YoY +160.0%) and Computer Vision in 2025 (YoY +233.3%), the sharp decline across most categories so far in 2026, including a 100% drop in Pictorial / Video Communications and Computer Vision, suggests a potential shift in patenting priorities or a strategic pause after a period of rapid expansion.
