Company patents
S&P Global Inc.
S&P Global Inc.'s patent strategy reveals a surprising shift away from its core "Business Methods & Fintech" area, which has seen a significant decline of -64.7% in 2024, -50.0% in 2025, and -33.3% so far in 2026. While most categories show a decline, the company is showing an emerging focus on "Natural Language Processing," with a remarkable 200.0% year-over-year growth in 2026, indicating a strategic pivot towards advanced AI capabilities despite an overall reduction in patenting activity across many other computing categories.
