Company patents
SILICON WORKS CO., LTD.
SILICON WORKS CO., LTD. shows a surprising shift in its patent strategy, with a significant decline across nearly all categories, including its core Display Drivers, which saw a dramatic -72.7% YoY drop in 2025 and only 1 patent so far in 2026. While Image Processing experienced a +100.0% YoY growth in 2024, this momentum was not sustained, indicating a broad de-emphasis on patenting activity across its portfolio.
