Company patents

SHANGHAI UNITED IMAGING HEALTHCARE CO., LTD.

SHANGHAI UNITED IMAGING HEALTHCARE CO., LTD's patent strategy reveals a strong, nearly equal focus on Medical Diagnostics & Surgery (45.7% of portfolio) and Image Processing (44.5%), which is expected given its industry. However, it's surprising to see a rapid decline in patenting across almost all categories in 2025 and so far in 2026, with Machine Learning & AI, despite a significant 88.9% YoY growth in 2024, experiencing a sharp 58.8% decline in 2025 and 71.4% so far in 2026, suggesting a potential shift in R&D investment or a maturation of its core technologies.
