Company patents
Roku, Inc.
Roku, Inc. maintains a strong focus on its core 'Pictorial / Video Communications' with 56.9% of its portfolio, but surprisingly, 'Business Methods & Fintech' emerged as a rapidly growing area, experiencing a +41.2% YoY growth in 2025, indicating a strategic expansion beyond hardware and content delivery. While most categories show a decline in patent filings so far in 2026, which is expected given the partial year data, the significant growth in 'Information Storage (Recording)' by +275.0% in 2024 suggests an underlying shift in infrastructure or data management priorities.
