Company patents

MERCARI, INC.

MERCARI, INC.'s patent strategy is heavily concentrated in Business Methods & Fintech, accounting for 78.6% of its portfolio, yet this core area saw a significant 68.8% decline in patent grants from 2023 to 2024. Surprisingly, despite its focus on digital platforms, the company has maintained a small but consistent interest in Force / Pressure Measurement, with 1 patent so far in 2026, even as many computing-related categories like Computer Vision and Image Processing have seen a complete cessation of new patents since 2023.
