Company patents

MICWARE CO., LTD.

MICWARE CO., LTD. appears to be strategically shifting its focus, with a surprising decline in its core Image Processing category, which represents 35.3% of its portfolio, experiencing a -69.2% YoY drop so far in 2026 after a surge in 2025. Concurrently, while Navigation & Geodesy remains a significant area (33.3% of portfolio), its patenting activity has also seen a consistent decline since 2024, indicating a potential re-evaluation of established priorities.
