Company patents

NEUSTAR, INC.

NEUSTAR, INC. exhibits a surprising patent strategy with a strong, almost equal focus across Network Security & Access Control (33.9% of portfolio), Telephone Equipment (32.1%), and Cryptographic Mechanisms (30.4%), suggesting a holistic approach to secure communications infrastructure. While Web & Cloud Service Protocols saw a significant 150.0% YoY growth in 2024, its subsequent decline by 40.0% in 2025 and 100.0% so far in 2026 indicates a shifting priority away from this area, despite its initial rapid expansion.
