Company patents
Next Silicon Ltd
Next Silicon Ltd's patent strategy reveals a surprising dual focus on core computing hardware and software, with Computer Hardware Architecture (41.7% of portfolio) and Operating Systems & Program Control (40.3% of portfolio) dominating. While patenting in these core areas, along with Software Development & Compilers, saw significant growth in 2025, the rapid emergence of Electronic Design Automation (CAD/EDA) with a 200.0% YoY growth in 2026 (so far) suggests a new strategic emphasis on design tools, contrasting with the declining focus on Memory & Storage (Static) which saw a 100.0% decline in 2025.
