Company patents

Parallels International GmbH

Parallels International GmbH's patent strategy appears to be undergoing a significant shift, with a notable decline across its core areas like Operating Systems & Program Control (down 58.8% in 2025 and 42.9% so far in 2026) and Web & Cloud Service Protocols (down 40.0% in 2025 and 77.8% so far in 2026), which together represent nearly 97% of its portfolio. This broad decline, particularly in 2025 and continuing into 2026, suggests a potential re-evaluation of its R&D focus or a strategic divestment from these traditionally strong areas.

File sharing over secure connections

Filed:2024-07-09Pub:2025-06-10
Applicant:PARALLELS INTERNATIONAL GmbH

Systems and methods for file sharing over secure connections. An example method comprises: receiving a client request identifying a file sharing host and a file residing on the file sharing host; establishing a secure client connection; responsive to identifying a management connection with the file sharing host, transmitting an identifier and a parameter of the secure client connection via the management connection; receiving a host request to establish a secure host connection, the host request comprising the identifier of the secure client connection; establishing the secure host connection using the parameter of the secure client connection identified by the received identifier; forwarding, over the secure host connection, a first data packet received over the secure client connection, the first data packet comprising at least part of the client request; and forwarding, over the secure client connection, a second data packet received over the secure host connection, the second data packet comprising at least part of the file identified by the client request.
