Company patents
Nutanix, Inc.
Nutanix Inc. shows a strong historical focus on core computing infrastructure, with Operating Systems & Program Control (46.9% of portfolio) and Databases & Information Retrieval (35.2%) being dominant. Surprisingly, despite its cloud focus, patenting in Web & Cloud Service Protocols has seen a decline of 6.9% in 2025, and its Machine Learning & AI portfolio, though small at 2.6%, has seen a significant drop in patenting activity, with a 100.0% decline so far in 2026 compared to 2025, suggesting a potential shift in R&D priorities away from these areas.
