Company patents

NAVER LABS CORPORATION

NAVER LABS CORPORATION's patent strategy reveals a surprising, yet sharp, shift in focus, with a significant decline across nearly all categories in 2025 after robust growth in 2024. For instance, Industrial & Autonomous Control saw a massive 550.0% YoY growth in 2024 to 13 patents, only to plummet by 100.0% in 2025, mirroring similar dramatic declines in areas like Computer Vision (-55.6% in 2025) and Image Processing (-71.4% in 2025), suggesting a strategic re-evaluation or a pause in patenting activity across its core computing and manufacturing domains.
