Company patents
SEGA CORPORATION
SEGA CORPORATION's patent strategy reveals a surprising dual focus: while "Games & Gaming" dominates with 74.6% of its portfolio, its significant 185.7% YoY growth in 2024 has leveled off, suggesting a mature core. Concurrently, "Coin / Token Operated Apparatus" remains a substantial, albeit secondary, priority at 34.3% of the portfolio, experiencing a robust 133.3% YoY growth in 2024, indicating a sustained, perhaps niche, investment in this traditional area.
