Company patents
NETGEAR, INC.
NETGEAR, INC. appears to be significantly shifting its patent strategy, as evidenced by a broad decline across most categories, including its dominant 'Wireless Networks' (76.6% of portfolio) which saw a -30.8% YoY drop in 2024 and a -60.0% drop so far in 2026. This widespread decline, with categories like 'Web & Cloud Service Protocols' and 'Operating Systems & Program Control' seeing 100% YoY declines in 2025, suggests a strategic pivot away from many previously active areas, with only 'Physical Transmission & Modulation' maintaining a consistent patent output.
