Company patents

MongoDB, Inc.

MongoDB, Inc.'s patent strategy, while heavily focused on "Databases & Information Retrieval" (89.6% of its portfolio), shows a surprising emerging focus on "Computer Security," which experienced a significant 250.0% year-over-year growth in 2025, reaching 7 patents, despite a sharp decline so far in 2026. Conversely, several categories like "System Reliability & Diagnostics" and "Cryptographic Mechanisms" appear to be shifting priorities, both experiencing 100.0% declines in patenting activity in 2024 and/or 2026.
