Company patents
Nomura Research Institute, Ltd.
Nomura Research Institute, Ltd. surprisingly shows a shifting priority away from its core "Business Methods & Fintech" category, which represents 37.5% of its portfolio but has seen a significant decline of -50.0% so far in 2026, following a -45.5% drop in 2025. While "Computer Vision" experienced rapid growth of +150.0% in 2025, its sharp decline of -90.0% so far in 2026, alongside a -100.0% decline in "Cryptographic Mechanisms" and "Image Processing" for the current year, suggests a volatile and potentially reactive patent strategy rather than a sustained focus on emerging technologies.
