Company patents
Maxar Space LLC
Maxar Space LLC's patent strategy shows a surprising shift away from its largest category, Photovoltaic (Solar Cells), which constitutes 19.0% of its portfolio but has seen a drastic decline in filings, with a -100.0% YoY decrease in 2026 so far. This indicates a potential re-prioritization, as other areas like Web & Cloud Service Protocols and System Reliability & Diagnostics, though smaller, have maintained consistent filing rates in 2025 and 2026.
