Company patents

Maxar Space LLC

Maxar Space LLC's patent strategy reveals a surprising and significant shift away from Photovoltaic (Solar Cells), which constitutes 19.2% of its portfolio but has seen a drastic decline in new patents, dropping 80.0% in 2025 and 100.0% so far in 2026. This indicates a clear deprioritization of solar cell technology, despite its historical prominence, with no new patents in this area so far in 2026.
