Company patents

Shanghai United Imaging Intelligence Co., Ltd.

Shanghai United Imaging Intelligence Co., Ltd. demonstrates a patent strategy heavily focused on Image Processing, representing 75.6% of its portfolio, which saw a significant 31.2% YoY growth in 2024, alongside emerging interests in Computer Vision and Healthcare Informatics, which grew by 33.3% and 43.8% respectively in the same year. However, the company appears to be shifting away from several areas, with notable declines in Machine Learning & AI (down 73.9% in 2025) and a complete cessation of patenting in Data Recognition (Barcodes, OCR) since 2024, and Electrical Measurement so far in 2026.
