Company patents

NCSOFT Corporation

NCSOFT Corporation's patent strategy reveals a surprising surge in core gaming technology, with "Games & Gaming" patents skyrocketing by 1100.0% in 2025 to represent 43.8% of its portfolio, alongside significant emerging focus areas like "Input/Output & User Interfaces" which grew by 100.0% in 2026 (so far). This indicates a strong commitment to enhancing user interaction within its primary domain, while also showing a notable shift away from several communication and computing categories, such as "Network Security & Access Control" and "Web & Cloud Service Protocols," both declining by 100.0% in 2025.
