Company patents
SeeScan, Inc.
SEESCAN, INC's patent strategy appears to be shifting away from its traditional focus on Geophysics & Gravity Measurement, which, despite being 44.6% of its portfolio, saw a significant 15.0% decline in 2025 and a further 58.8% decline so far in 2026. While overall patenting activity seems to be slowing, the company showed a surprising 400.0% year-over-year growth in Radar / Sonar / Lidar patents in 2024, indicating a potential, albeit currently decelerating, emerging interest in this communication technology.
