Company patents
Sonatus, Inc.
Sonatus . Inc's patent strategy reveals a surprising dual focus, with a dominant 73.8% of its portfolio in "Time / Attendance / Access Control" (consumer sector) alongside a significant presence in communication technologies like "Network Security & Access Control" (47.5%) and "Wireless Networks" (42.5%). While several communication categories saw explosive growth in 2024 (e.g., "Wireless Networks" at +1000.0% YoY), the sharp decline across most categories in 2025 and so far in 2026, including a -82.4% YoY drop in its largest category, suggests a potential shift in patenting priorities or a maturation of its core technologies, though it's important to note that 2026 data is partial.
