Company patents
Shanghai University
SHANGHAI UNIVERSITY exhibits a surprisingly broad patent strategy, with its largest category, Optical Elements & Systems, representing only 14.9% of its portfolio. While several categories like Pictorial / Video Communications and Computer Vision showed rapid growth in 2025 (600.0% and 200.0% YoY respectively), the significant drop to zero patents so far in 2026 across many categories, including these high-growth areas, suggests a potential shift in focus or a natural fluctuation in patent filing cycles.
