Company patents

NCSOFT Corporation

NCSOFT Corporation's patent strategy, while still heavily focused on Games & Gaming (44.2% of its portfolio), shows a surprising shift in 2025 with a massive 1100.0% YoY growth in this category, followed by a -41.7% decline so far in 2026, indicating a highly volatile but potentially renewed emphasis. Concurrently, Input/Output & User Interfaces is emerging as a significant focus, showing a robust 100.0% YoY growth in 2026, suggesting an increasing commitment to user interaction technologies beyond core gaming mechanics.
