Company patents
Pure Storage, Inc.
Pure Storage, Inc. demonstrates a shifting patent strategy, with a notable decline across its core computing categories like Input/Output & User Interfaces (down 14.7% YoY in 2025) and System Reliability & Diagnostics (down 17.8% YoY in 2025). Surprisingly, despite these declines, there was an emerging focus on specific security and hardware areas in 2024, with Network Security & Access Control growing rapidly by 59.4% YoY and Memory & Storage (Static) surging by 136.4% YoY, although patent filings across all categories show a significant drop so far in 2026, indicating a potential re-evaluation of their R&D priorities.
